Lebanese were also involved in the persecution of Shirin Ebadi. Why are the Ayatollahs hiring mercenaries to do their dirty work?

A number of the revolutionary guards on motorbikes have been caught by the young protesters. None of the four captured speak farsi and only Arabic. One of them in said to be from Lebanon.

This is why they feel nothing when bashing our young borthers and sisters so ruthlessly. Shame on you Khamenei, shame on all of you in the evil regime that has been continusously raping our country for the last 30 years.

I feel very sorry for the Iranian people. But they will have to change this themselves. The international political structure’s help will not be forthcoming.

There are only two outcomes: Revolution or Acceptance.

I’m going to hate this country! I feel like I don’t belong here anymore! they didn’t count my vote! I have no connection with this world! there are filters everywhere, sites are filtered, satellite, you can’t go to the streets and you can’t even use your phone! I feel like a prisoner! And it’s extremely abusive! We are shouting for help! Why isn’t anyone helping us! Do something! Please!

The Iranian people had too much faith that their electoral system would not be sabotaged and are venting their anger at being ripped off. But the opposition is ill-prepared. They do not have the means nor the organisation to bring about a revolution.It should have been obvious to them when the SMS in their cell phones was disabled days before the election that there was going to be a surprise not to the liking of the populace. When rioting such as this fails to make a change for the better, it makes a change for the worse. Expect to see reduction in human rights in the name of security. The insurgency needed control over the some media, a good percentage of transportation, and a section of the armed forces. It doesn’t appear like they have achieved any of this. However, if the populace were allowed to have firearms they would have achieved all of these. Tyrants do not like an armed citizenry.

Just remember: Tehran is NOT Iran and those people protesting the election results are merely a bunch of poor losers unable to cope with the realities of their own country (typically young, suburban, middle and upper class). The Supreme Leader should place the nation under Martial Law and I can guarantee this show will be over in a couple of days; the Islamic Republic needs to put its entire attention on real and sensitive issues such as the impending Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Iran’s troubling economy is NOT Ahmadinejad’s fault (if you understand a little bit of micro and macro economics and the effects of current international sanctions, you will be able to grasp this) and social reforms are beyond his scope of duties. Congratulations to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his indisputable electoral triumph.

I do hope Ahmadinejad sleeps tight tonight, knowing he actually would never ever win the election if it would be a fair one.

Of course here in Iran we ALL know there is no democracy but since we are a generation seeking peaceful change we gave it a shot and tried to change by massively voting and advertising this time. actually this was the last hope. If no change can be made by voting than the only way out would be another revolution or sth close to that. unfortunately now people all feel used and abused and are in shock and angry.
With authorities like these our people will only get killed and then nothing will change. The government has cheated BIG time. we all knew they always cheated and lied openly about it but no one could ever expect to see it taken to such an extreme and so openly.
Currently in Iran people are being killed and injured. text messages have been cut for a few days now and from tonight, we also can’t use our cellphones. All the sites have suddenly gotten filtered and internet connections are so poor you can barely open pages sometimes and at other times there is no internet at all.
This all happens while our government shouts our freedom to the world with pride.
I beg international committees to help us! we don’t want so many people killed. it is obvious that the majority of voted were in favor of Mousavi. Plz help:(
Thanx
