Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio

So answer your own question for us.

Too bad the old "Shah of Iran" is dead. Can we put him back into power anyway?

If Americans had the balls to rise up and protest against anything (e.g. financial corruption, unjust wars, etc.) in a mannner similar to the protesters in Iran, "homeland security" would put down the protesters in a similar fashion.

(Kent State, anybody?)

What makes you think that Iranian elections were rigged ? I believe AhmedNejad won the clear majority, and even agreed to the recount.

AhmedNejad has done good work in the remote areas of Iran, and people were happy with his performance there - where the main population of Iran resides. Only the youth supports the new candidate because of his liberal and western views. West would like to see AhmedNejad go because he is the only one in the middle east who stands against and defy west, especially Israel.

I am in favor of peaceful demonstration, but any protests that involves law and order situation such destruction of property etc must be met with police enforcement. Imagine, what would US government do if supporters of John McCain refuse to accept the presidential election, and violate law.

Let's all think outside of box!

"What makes you think that Iranian elections were rigged ?"

EXACTLY !!!

As I previously wrote, only one sentence--"the elections were not fair"--uttered nobody knows where by nobody knows whom started this whole mess.

However, the idiots (and there are many evident in the discussions on CBS) get sucked in by the propaganda.

Iran, Revolution on the Revolution

30 years after the Islamic Revolution in Iran another revolution taking a place. The ?Ayatollah? regime in Iran has expired its legitimacy, and peoples, mostly younger generations has acquired and demanded a new Iranian way of life suites the current time and conditions. Iranian Facebook and Twitter generation are demanding democracy and freedom.
Where is the international community, and what are we waiting for to show some real support, not just weak concerns statements?

I guess I have two messages today; one for President Barack Obama, that is that now it?s not a time to stand and watch quietly, you got to take a firm stand and send a strong message, not only to Iran, but to other repressive nations in the region that are watching and looking closely to the World reaction - with concern that ?Winds of Change? might hit them and they might be next.

My second message is to the ?courageous? Iranian people; do not stop, and keep on claiming your rights in your democracy. Freedom isn?t free and it?s yours to claim it.

EXCELLENT observations !

Wake up moderates. Elections have consequences !

How is that 'hope and change' working out for ya'll ?

[speakinup22]

Maybe a few - but I doubt any shots would be fired. Kent state was a one time lesson for us. The government in Iran has no intention of listening to the rest of the world (sans US) tell them shooting their people protesting is wrong.

Meanwhile barry is probably getting ready for another night on the town.

In case you are just a mite bit slow on our revolution. Most of our descent happened in Boston and not in the country side.

So much for being the free world's leader.

But hey ! Now, were are the good guys !

Wait a minute - don't they finish last ?
