A Fellow Blogger at independenceinexile.blogspot.com has been really staying on top of the Iran situation. All of the discussions about the situation are important to those here in the U.S. that feel our government is ignoring us.
People there have taken to the streets to show their outrage at the government and it’s actions. Blatant disregard for what the people truly want and supposed rigged result to the presidential vote have people in the streets continually. I seem to recall a a couple of days in April when some here in the U.S did the same thing.
How long did you stand outside? How dedicated were you? Personally I went to 2 demonstrations on the first day and 1 a few days later. All of which were a few hours at most. Not really saying much when compared to the Iranians who are protesting.
The vote in Iran took place almost 2 weeks ago and they are still protesting. Are we not willing to suffer a bit to get what we want, our voices to be heard! I think that the Iranian people are showing an amazing amount of fortitude in the demonstrations they are taking part in now. I may not be the government, but they have my full support.
I hope it works out for them, although I am fearful it will not. Examples like this, tend to dash any hopes normal people can change what goes on in the powerful government. Look what the demonstrators have been through to this point. They are receiving little consolation. Good luck to the people of Iran who have the bravery to stand up peacefully to the government.
Check out the history of Iran. It is long and interesting. Foxnews is covering the Iran story continually. The leaders in Iran say “No” to new vote.
