The demonstrations in Iran are not going away
The latest estimate from the rumor mill is that two million people have taken to the streets this afternoon and evening, pretty much overwhelming the militia greeting them with batons and tear gas. The rumor mill is once again listing embassies that are taking in wounded.

Encouraged by the Khamenei/Ahmedinejad gang to chant "Down with Britain," they're chanting "Down with Russia" instead in some of the videos. Russia is seen as enabling the present regime.

There are some great videos at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/13/iran-uprising-blogging_n_230402.html

4. We can help.
Being on the receiving end of their cries for reforms, we can at least pay attention.
