I'm going to host/post a couple pics to save 'em some bandwidth:

As much as I want this to be true, it must be overstated. There are non-Iranians in Iran, including foreign journalists. If this was anything approaching the levels of Tianamen Square, big name press agencies would be all over it.

"Why has this not received any attention in the media?"

Who cares? The Bush administration is certainly in touch with the situation. Let them work in the shadows without all the left wing hostility. I don't see the 1ID taking out the Mullahs. I see the Iranian people (with covert US help) doing the job.

[RightWhale]

Why so many people? Is it school spring break?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

The Brits, French and Germans support the Mullahs. Kerry supports the Mullahs.

Why would the media want to rock the boat?

Bush put Iran on the Axis of Evil list, and the media won't forget it. Iran can't be evil! Theocracies aren't evil, just different! One man's terrorist is another man's...

The media CHOSES which stories America learns about. Nothing new.

What can Freepers do to help the people of Iran? Anyone have any ideas?


Deluge the liberal press with it.

[Ken H]

We must kill the Mullahs.

Absolutely.

[Chuckster]

One wonders if they are reporting on the same event.

[TJC]

I wonder if the USA has special forces in Iran 'helping'?
If Iran falls (from within) before November W get the credit. This would be very good.

Why has this not received any attention in the media?

In the not too distant future, this forum and others like it will be the media, and all of the imbecile socialist "reporters"will have to get real jobs like the rest of us.

Save a tree

Ban newspapers.

FYI, although I'm sure you're on top of it.

From the same source:

Not far from Tehran, in Karaj, the house of the Friday Prayer leader was set on fire copying the similar action by the people in Fereydoon Kenar .

In Yazd, between 7000-8000 people gathered in Atlasi Sq and attacked the known regime agents.

In Booshehr, one revolutionary guard is reported killed.

In Shiraz, the people attacked government agents who were filming them and broke their cameras.

In Kerman, the people were shouting, Referendum, Referendum, This is the cry of nation.

In Sarab, Azarbijan, where the people have a fierce reputation for their fighting capabilities, the local Baseejis were on the run while shouting Allah-Akbar.

As in last year Iran's Kurdistan contained the biggest scenes of celebrations. Huge bonfires were reported from Marivan and Sannadaj, with the youth openly taunting the regime's forces.

Even in many other places throughout Iran where the celebrations were less political, young boys and girls circled around bonfires, held hands and danced to the music. An unthinkable act in the month of Moharram, even in the pre-Isalmic revolution of 1979.

So on a night where the Islamic state run TV even resorted to showing popular American films to encourage the people of Iran to stay indoors, the fire of Zarathustra remained defiant and rekindled.

Dear media;

This looks to be one of the most important news stories of the year. Sorry you missed it. Please return your regular position with your lips firmly attached to any Democrat candidates rear.

[Political Junkie Too]

If this is related to having a stable democracy in the Middle East (Iraq), then I'm not surprised that the media isn't covering it. The media doesn't want to cover anything that might make President Bush look good, including signing a constitution and getting the oil flowing again. They'd rather focus on the new Spanish president declaring Iraq as a failure.

I think our involvement started with the train explosion that leveled thirty square miles. Those were explosives and weapons on that train.

As for the signifigance of this event, aren't there a few "been there, done that" tee shirts in that part of the globe?

perfect

[jungleboy]

The Internet is the NEW MEDIA!!!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

The liberal media has been flat-out campaigning for Kerry, just like they did for Gore in the last election. Nothing they do surprises me.

Kerry is every bit the pathological liar that Gore is and they won't report that.

[McGavin999]

I read earlier that there is even better news. I read that the oil workers have gone on strike and the doctors and nurses are expected to go on strike as well.

[Richard Kimball]

A free Iran would also be great news.
