I will tell you how it is going to end. They have been wiping out the movement all week. They know that nobody is going to do s**t. All the protest did was bring the movement out into the open and now they are killing it. We just lost the democratic movement in Iran either by it being wiped out, or they will hate the US & the west for not helping. We just made the mullahs stronger.
Iran is not uprising. They are busy twittering (this crap has become a verb now...). Too much time has passed, they lost. They should go back to being brainwashed by their mullahs and wait a generation or two before trying again. Unless a war breaks out sooner and then we'll see what comes out of it. If you want your freedom, drop the f**king cell phone and pick up arms. Forget about blogging and twittering - we will never care more than you should and we will not do anything more than wear wristbands. Fight and be ready to f**king die if you want to be free.
Considering that twittering, blogging and demonstrating already carry harsh penalties, I get the feeling you don't really know what "courage" really means.You Americans... you're so used to your freedoms. Some of you don't realize just how much balls it takes to post a dissident message on a public site or to take to the street with little more than a flag and a pair of cojones larger than anything George Whatever Bush ever had against armed thugs who kill at random.If anything, a peaceful uprising takes more personal courage than simply lashing out in violence and rage. You're so wrapped up in your legendary war of independence that you forget the years that it took for things to hit a breaking point in the 13 colonies. I dare you to stand in front of a goddamn tank with nothing but a briefcase.
Regardless of the validity of the election.... Comments about CIA and Neocon psyops are beyond ignorant and dangerousThis all started with Iranians protesting, it took a while for the mainstream American media to even catch on to the story. For those of us who have been following this election for months, these comments are ignorant and imply that this story is even about America, which insults the millions of Iranians presently protesting and the many that have died there for a cause they perceive as just.I will agree American media is worthless; complacent and sugar-coated yes, but not controlled.
I've noticed a trend that a lot of those talking down the Iranian uprising are right-wingnuts/conspiracy theorists (and I mean REALLY right wingnut of the kind that camps out in the hills with a small arsenal awaiting the inevitable takeover by the world government).I guess they can't wrap their little minds around the fact that others are doing more for freedom than they ever did with their loony BEWARE CIA MIND PROBES. Do I smell a hint of cowardly jealousy?Of course, there's the other version - a.k.a Basij bots, but none on this thread.
Wake me up when it's millions getting on the streets all over Iran.Tehran is hardly Iran. Thousands hardly represent the people of Iran.Good try though. See if Ahmedinejad cares. He doesn't and so do the rest of the 80 MILLION Iranians.Good luck with your one men band playing the flute for the Iranian revolution on the other side of the mountain where they probably won't here you.
