There’s nothing left to give after your life.
Please God let it not be for nothing.

The IRNA news agency reported the killing of a security man in the city of Najafabad, in Isfahan district during clashes with protesters.
Some unconfirmed reports published by sites close to former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad say that the number of people killed in the city are two men from the Revolutionary Guard.
Not another flood of refugees .... I can’t stand it ....

Perfect opportunity to shame our Western allies into reimposing sanctions that Obama lifted for his ill advised nuclear treaty. They won’t do it if Iran violates the terms of the nuke treaty but we have a better chance of using “human rights” violations and the violence in the streets to have the EU reimpose sanctions and put the mullahs in an economic vice during this uprising which may potentially lead to their demise.
At Kent State there were only four dead. Hope for constructive result. Hope for internal gyroscope of civilized habits to regain equilibrium after active phase of revolution passes. Are there any angry protests songs in Farsi?
Return fire might have been provocateurs, arranging for justification for blood bath. You’d be surprised how many posts I read after the Tien An Men Square massacre claiming that the protesters provoked the onslaught.
And will not include all of those shot in the back of the head in the STASI/Secret Police HQ over the next several days.
Imagine how Obama’s “Civilian Security Force, as well trained and as well equipped as the military”, would have been?
Maybe even two zeroes.
The return fire covered the protesters while they recovered bodies. Probably GCC and/or soldiers who defected. Very deliberately in support of the protesters.
All the UN would do is stand there with its thumb up its @$$.
Isn’t that the Red-Headed Stepchild of amendments? Have there been any significant cases involving it?
Neither Libya nor Syria are relevant to these developments.
You probably miss the Ceausescus?.
These appears to be the results of domestic forces.
Join the Freedom Fighters.
Really!
No more refugees from anywhere.
World shaking events swamp small domestic cases and should be given top priority in your thinking.
BTW laws have consequences.
The 10th amendment cannot be stretched to cover the treason of the South. It was lies, stupidity and stupid lies. See James Madison’s interpretation of the inviolability of the Union.
Wow. Very revolutionary. They just may start stringing up clerics from lamp posts and rejecting Islam. I know. Too much to hope for. But cops defecting to protesters? That’s awesome.
