They need something more than civil disobedience to win their freedom.

I agree. So I can count on you to join the letter writing campaign, urging the media to cover the story accurately, urging the WH to explain the political structure of Iran in the correct light, urging the UN and the EU to stop working with the regime, offering financial assistance to the SMCCDI, offering aid to the citizens of Bam, as well as contributing to thoughtful discussions?

Thank you for joining the cause, risk! Every voice added counts. And the people of Iran will be forever grateful.

Some of that, just a little, but yes. However, this is up to the Iranians themselves. It's their choice -- stand up and seize their freedom, or let the beards hold them down. No amount of outside influence can give them lasting freedom. If it's not purchased drop by drop with the blood of tyrants and patriots, it'll just be taken back by the next cleric who happens along with visions of the Caliphate.
