Today is the day. The mullahs ordered the protesters off the streets but the protesters have defied them.

Will the police and army obey orders?

Which side gives way first?

Will notions of freedom carry beyond the mullah-rigged non-election of the mullah-approved candidates?

The success of the Iranian people is the war the US and Israel will not have to fight.

Post the stories here as they come in.

Great video from the BBC:

On a side note - I am having to watch CNN since Fox doesn't have much. It's funny to listen to the CNN talking heads talk about Iran "state run media."

I don't know if "great" is the first adjective I'd choose but it is compelling.

It's also heartbreaking.

People should not fear what should only be constituted for their common defense.

You are correct - "great" probably is not the proper word. Heartbreaking it is.

Do you ever see the possibility of this happening in our country?

Apart from the 60's?

I hope not.

People like Obama can win elections in a country whose top show is literally titled "American Idol" but when really policy is t be decided by people who actually have to work here his type get stymied fairly quickly. Not that we should ever lower our vigilance but the neforcement mechanisms real tyrants rely on just won't work on real Americans. If the Iranian Republican Guard is balking at orders to kill their family and neighbors you can rest assured the Colorado Army National Guard would walk away from such orders.

FNC just had a clip of a demonstration from Tehran, which had a lot of people running past a fairly decent-sized fire in the middle of an intersedtion.

This sort of thing does not usually end well for the opponents of the government. Any government. And most dictators don't mind killing a few dozen people to make a point.

Do they get 72 virgins if they're killed by their own Army?

If we had a real mannn in office we would be arming the revolution.
But O the pansy won't do anything to upset his islamist masters.

The biggest problem with Obama is that he's never run anything, no management expierience at all. He's never had to make a real decision that was his and his alone. He's out of his element, and is totally afraid of failure and to look bad.

BlueStateSaint · « **Reply #13 on:** June 20, 2009, 02:15:01 PM »

If I could H5 Mr Mannn and the IHD, I would. You guys are dead on.

With the impending moves by our own government, let's try to see that it doesn't happen here . . .

Nah. Cause everyone knew Gore lost. loser rats threw no mass 500,000 man demonstrations.
Freepers outnumbered the democrats on the streets. There was even a protest outside Gore's Veep mansion where Freepers chanted, "Get out of Cheney's house!"

I hope you're being sarcastic.

A side note: - DUmmies and other mindless Zobambies reaction shows logical disconnect.

So many of them are thanking Obama for planting the seeds of the Iranian revolution, without considering the consequences. If Obama is responsible, there are two options;

A ) Obama must support the revolution, which means getting involved in a war that has nothing to do with the United States.
B ) If Obama does nothing, or only makes pretty speeches, he is responsible for sending the youth of Iran to die.

Both options result in the US losing support from Muslim nations. Both options result in needless death. Yet Neither option is opposed by the DUmbasses at large, even though if President Bush were still in office, the wailing and gnashing of teeth would be audible through my Internet connection.

Not even close because we don`t have a barbaric dictatorial rule (yet) where an election so onesided towards those who oppress the citizens wins by a huge margin.

Not sure your political ilk but to compare any US election with those in truly oppressive regimes is just not accurate.

SSG Snuggle Bunny · « **Reply #18 on:** June 20, 2009, 09:32:13 PM »

I could MAYBE sympathize with Mr Obama when things were in their infancy protest-wise but now that Iran is in full-fledged rebellion he seems determined to take his place in history next Neville Chamberlain and Jimmy Carter.

FFS the man went out for ice cream while a country we could be at war with is falling down...doesn't he at least want ot see it fall in a harmless direction?

This is all hypothetically speaking of course. I just feel that if Americans were to be doing the same thing here in America.. burning houses, and garbage cans

for 4 days straight, they might meet some resistance. The Police in America will kill you if you pull out a butter knife! Come on.

Again there is NO comparison. The Gore thing was just silly. No one cared that Gore lost.
Well stupid moonbat liberals who never has sex might care, but normal educated people Know Al the loser never won in the first place.

BUT there is two other major differences.
1) Americans are armed.
2) Our military won't fire on US citizens.

In Iran, police have NO fear of shooting into a crowd of 500,000 people.
In America 500,000 ARMED men will dwarf the national guard and police forces that could be mustered against them.
