What’s taking place in Iran?

For an answer, don’t turn to CNN or Fox News and don’t listen to White House officials.

Millions have taken to the streets to protest the June 12 rigged election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The University of Tehran has been ransacked.

Several protestors have been killed and thousands have been injured.

It is the greatest popular uprising that the 21st Century has witnessed.

And yet, to find fair and balanced coverage of the momentous event, one had to turn to foreign news outlets.

Anything to de-stabilise the regime in Tehran.

The mullahs who run Iran have to be removed from power if anything is to change in Iran. Trading Mahmoud #1 for Mahmoud #2 won't change anything.

“Is Dr. Paul Williams “just another blogger”??
Hmmm...interesting. I suppose Bob Spencer and Steve Emerson are also?”

Who?

Are we going to let the Iranians show us how to control government? It is every citizen’s duty to control its own government. All governments should be afraid of their citizens.

Gee, then what was I watching between 5 and 6 Central time on Fox? Must have been a mirage. They even talked by phone with a foreign journalist about what was going on over there. The opening article here fails to mention that Iran is expelling all foreign journalists so it’s kind of hard to report on a situation when you arent’ even there.

This is BS.

I check on Pravda every once in a while. They have turned out to be a pretty reliable source.

We are living in interesting times.
