YOW-WEE! A sea change. A tidal wave. This is great news, reminds me of the Bejing students.

I wish the US government would support peoples who yearn for freedom under repressive governments.... yet they seem to be back tracking even from Israel.

sad

If it weren't for the clerics, we would be walking through Afghanistan arm in arm with the Iranian Army.

Wow this was unexpected news. Should we be thrilled for them or be worried about the instability affecting the region in ways we don't want?

It's the hardline clerics who should be concerned with instability, IMO.

...young people braved tear gas and blows from the security forces to cavort to the sound of the Western pop star Sonique...

Who?

Girls blew hooters at Islamic vigilantes armed with staves...

Sounds good to me. Not sure about the meaning of the above, but hooters is always a good thing.

I've had the opportunity to meet some really great Iranians over the years and none have fit the stereotype in the minds of many Americans. Lets Roll for the Iranians!

These particular young people are dis-ing oppressive Islamic life. They're not fanatics.

I have a theory: Every now and then the U.S. needs to go out and kick someone's butt. That reminds the rest of the world that we are NOT to be toyed with, that we're a super power. It keeps the half-baked tyrants from making stupid moves. Just my 2 cents....
