Hey, it can't hurt.

While I appreciate the concept, I will miss actually following those in Tehran and the vital news they were getting out which is now being drowned in a sea of re-tweets.

I appreciate your frustration, but I can’t do much about that.

I thought so. If nothing else, it shows solidarity.

boy, no wonder they’re frustrated. It’s 11:30am or so there, and there is NO live coverage on American TV anywhere. (at least that I can find)

If there's a revolution, it may not be necessary.

We can all do what Jimmah Carter told us all to do when our embassy was attacked and the hostages were taken in Iran in 1979. We can all light a candle in our window to show our support. (What a leader he was!!!)

But in seriousness, our beef is NOT with the Iranian people, just the political-theocratic leadership.
