This just in...
We are hearing of a MASSIVE protest against the Iranian regime is being organized for Sunday evening in Iran. This is only 10 hours away (Iran is approx 12 hours a head of us in the PST Zone).
We are hearing of entire families, neighborhoods planning on attending. Even those frightened by the regime in the past as planning to join the protest tonight.
It is expected to be HUGE!
I will report back ASAP!

There is a google news site and you can get things ordered by date and time also:
http://news.google.com/ But caution about the date and time sort, some news are "fresh news" in some paper, but actually have been out in other news sources for some time.

The protestors need to get serious, and steal some rifles and put down a few of these cleric enforcers. Marching in the streets chanting slogans is just suicide in the face of someone who will beat you down and stab you in the back.
The main reason Tianammen Square happened is because the Chinese people weren't expecting such extreme force to be weilded against them. The Iranian freedom fighters should know better by now.

Thanks!
Non-violent protest is one thing if you're dealing with a civilized governments like the British or the US (for the most part), who have some level of moral and ethical restraint when it comes to gunning down non-violent protestors, and who care what people think of their response to such protests.
Even Ghandi knew that non-violence doesn't work in every situation.

He or the USA has in no such manner supported any of this.Um, yes he has. I simply cannot read this statement as anything other than support of the protestors (see Breaking News sidebar: RECENT DEMONSTRATIONS IN IRAN):
*************
The United States views with great concern the use of violence against Iranian students peacefully expressing their political views. We are alarmed at reports of arrests and provocative actions taken against students by regime forces, and call upon the regime to protect the human rights of the students and to release those who have been arrested.
Iranians, like all people, have a right to determine their own destiny, and the United States supports their aspirations to live in freedom. It is our hope that the voice of the Iranian people and their aspirations for democracy and the rule of law will be heard.

Right now it's 2:45 am EST the date is Monday June 16, 2003. Sunday night (6/15/03) has come and gone in Iran. Explain this discrepancy You got some bad data. Take PST and add 11-1/2 hours to get Tehran time. (EST+8.5 hours. Elsewhere in the world, figure accordingly.) According to my pocket PC as I post it's Sun. June 15th, 6:26 PM in Tehran. With a couple more hours or so of daylight left.

Masked students protest in front of Tehran University
To: Grampa Dave
Grandpa Dave. Back in the early 70's, I was living in an apartment in Aurora, IL. One of my neighbors was a family from Iran. They had a Students Against the Shah Poster in their place. I went there for supper once and the father laughed about how silly we Christians were for praying before our meals. He told me how it was more appropriate to pray after the meal to thank Allah that the food wasn't poisoned.
Anyway, here it is, just over 30 years later and another generation of Iranian students is fighting the government...a government that rose to power on a previous generation of students' protests!
I hope for the world's sake that they get it right this time...a government without a theocracy!

...(ref. BBC)... attacks by right-wing vigilantes... conservative clerical establishment... conservative vigilantes...Don't you just love it when the BBC salts it's stories with this type of rhetoric?
Students said dozens of armed Islamic vigilantes were involved in the attack on the university dormitory.
It looks as if the students have gotten it correctly, even if the BBC hasn't!
I suspect the other Western news(!) organizations such as Reuters and CNN will adopt the same rhetoric to refer to the Islamists in the same way as they refer to the Bush Administration. As far as they're concerned, they are all a bunch of "right-wing, conservative vigilantes" when they are the Bad Guys!
