2. Thank you. This is historic. |
|
Amazing courage by the Iranians. And they did it without Dick Cheney. Imagine that.

7. They are able to do it because no one can link it to American pressure. |

along with 9 other people. Sad.

I go to Sullivan's blog and links. I haven't used my Twitter account yet today, however, and will probably do so tonight.

9. The news media doesn't seem to be paying much attention anymore either. |
|
It's just not as interesting as Tiger Woods, a custody case in Brazil, or the latest Palin adventure. :shrug:

12. NPR and BBC have covered it pretty well... |
|
and it is amazing.
Montazeri was the "pope" of Ayatollahs, held in higher respect than Khomeni or any of the rest of them. His death unites the radical kids and the old guard on the eve of the Ashoura.
Looking back years ago at reports of the changes in the university city of Qum, this could be the time for big changes in Iran-- Iranians once had enough of the Shah, now they just might be having enough of his successors.
(Gotta watch those Persians-- there comes a time they just don't take no shit any more)
