Iran supression of Mousavi getting heavier.(Updated)
To be clear, I am not interested in US involvement, we haven enough on our plate. But whats happening to Iran is nothing less than tragic. No offense kiddoes but historically…religious states end bloody…it hasn’t worked…it doesnt work….it just ostracizes a nations youth. In Iran’s case, I hope these demonstrations show clearly that the government isnt interested in compromise, and only interested in furthering it’s own agenda, not being answerable to it’s own population. In doing so, the world will view them as another Iraq. Not now…later…is this truly how you believe your nation wishes to live?
Now to be clear, I am just looking far ahead…right now we’re seeing two factions both wrestling for the upper hand in a power play for Iran. Mousavi isn’t a beacon of shining light…he’s just a whole ton better to deal with than the loony that just got re-elected.
Here’s some linkage for the current stories.

More on Neda HERE A lot of details on what happened.
UK takes a little action HERE
Okay…BBC seems to be showing a little more detail and factuals than CNN now…they must be filtering their info out too much.
More later after work.
It’s not about the election anymore. People want regime change and ban the current constitution that forced to them 30 years ago. Iranians never thought that Islamic fanatics would slaughter people and take their basic human rights away with the name of Islam.
“Islamic Republic” = oxymoron
The time has come and gone. The world needs Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to be resting in a bone yard.
Major: The only concrete benefit in a regime change will not rest in a change of presidency for them…as proven over the past few weeks. The Iranians are going to have to oust their own government, most likely including Mousavi. Mousavi hasn’t been playing the good guy for very long at all, and was in fact a founder of the current regime. We’re literally cheering for the removal of a known bad guy for a *wild card* that is only known previously as a bad guy until it became more productive for his political career to oppose Ahmadinejad. I think that if Mousavi was truly someone the world community felt would make Iran a better place, the world would be doing a little more than twitter-bombing and uber-blogging about it.
JohnRJ08: Couldn’t agree more. Religion holds no purpose in government but to enslave. Your spiritualism governs your soul, not your neighbor’s.
