Think of Mohammed, a reformist protester who called into CNN’s morning show today and had the following quote to say (among others). You can read the whole transcript HERE, including the part where he pleads for the US to get involved.
Let me tell you something. For about three decades our nation has been humiliated and insulted by this regime. Now Iranians are united again one more time after 1979 Revolution.

Movie and book reviews. and album reviews, etc.
More videos of your son[s] playing drums.

Every once in a while you need a friend to come along and remind you who you are and why you blog to get you going again. My dear Polish friend (and financial advisor pro bono) Justin Garbinski was that friend with his recent comment on my last post. [...]

If only more of the upper class power structure would push back against the regime, but then again they have the most to lose.
