i don’t agree that the united states should get involved, but the people of Iran have been stifled. text messages have all been blocked, they are tracing twitter and shutting down facebook. they are shutting down all forms of communication between iranians in order to stifle the flow of information. the news agencies have little to no information. our purpose is soley to help give the Iranians the voice that is being taken away. if they want to voice their concern, i will be more than happy to provide the avenue that reuters, cnn, and ap cannot. mousavi may not be better or worse than Ahmadinejad but if the Iranian people want to voice their opinion, spread information, or have their voices simply be heard, i’m more than glad to help f you follow the people who are in Tehran, they are asking that the world sees what is going on. i think thats a fair thing to ask. they are asking that this vote be seriously examined, which is a fair request.

I agree with you completely.

Also I find myself thinking of the 1991 Soviet Coup Attempt. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_coup_attempt_of_1991 It was an attempt by hardliners to regain power. If they hadn’t done it little would have changed and we’d possibly still have the Soviet Union, but in overturning the coup the people felt their power and forced change.

If Mousavi had just won things wouldn’t have changed much. But if the people win here things may well change utterly. Once people feel their power things happen.
