very sad day

1. Not surprising

When a government oppresses the people for a long time, coupled with a failing economy and hints of corruption...the people revolt.

2. A hell of a lot more peaceful than our protests.

The RNC looked like something out of an Orwellian nightmare with tear gas and mass round ups of people sitting quietly in parks.

4. Brother against brother. Brother against sister.

If this were in the U.S. or in invaded-Palestine, the mace or white phosphourous would have already been in use and those cops would have been using hazared suits. The taser guns would have been going off within seconds.

And some police types would be sitting behind computers matching faces against their database. They would probably have the names matched against guesses and knowns and they would already be on the NO-FLY list. They would flag the owners of these faces for future imprisonment. Oh wait, Obama is in charge now. Rove, Pawlenty, the Minnesota State, Minneapois, St. Paul and suburb police forces weren't there. But wait, some here are still pending charges, Mexicans are still being held all over the country. And wait. Moslems also. Some are already in prisons or detention camps. But wait, Obama is here now and we ARE going to get it straightened out in this country. Soon. August 2008 - RNC held in St. Paul and crap still going on. September 2001 - Moslems put in prisons - at Diego Garcia, Romania, Egypt, Poland, some or all of the ''stans'. And eight years, Mexicans, Guatemalans, Salvordeans, Hondurians, Nicaraguans - in detainee camps. Or picked up off the streets or out of the homes and kicked out.

Nine years of hate.

High technology reigns in the U.S.

Cheney should look at this film and recognize some business deals for himself.

Yes, I become angry at police force against protestors. Being left with a one-sided voice is not just anywhere on this earth. Protests are a valid form of speech.

I am sick of our legacy.

Good luck to the good people of Iran.
