Freedom is never free. Not until Islam is silent and separated from the state of Iran will anyone in Iran be free. Not until Islam is kept within its own buildings there will be no democracy, for religious leaders always want to lead those who will not think for themselves--and thus the poor become more poor--as in Europe's Middle Ages.

the iranian election "protests" were CIA organized and funded...that's why they were holding up sign in english like "where's my vote?"....this is nothing new of course, since its inception the CIA has violated the sovereignty of numerous independent nations and contributed to coups and internal unrest....

YESSSSS, Damien... Give in to the POWERRRR of the Dark Side..... Dude, you're a motherf@cking fool. Iranians don't want crazy-ass weird beards issuing fatwahs to murder people for holding hands in public.( or whatever ridiculous crime they supposedly committed, like saying Mohammed's a dick) They want to control their OWN destiny. Just like we USED to be able to do here in America. I miss last year.

This is truely a sad state of affairs. Yet I think it shows just how powerful a tool the internet can be, perhaps we as americans should learn from this. Traditional protests may not work, because they can be tipped to violence so easily. However we can speak our minds, we can also get off our lazy asses and do something rather then sitting around whinning about how our rights are being violated. The government has no power unless we give it to them.

What are we going to do to stop Iran from enabling the nuke. The funny thing is N.Korea had the world and the U.N. under the illusion that they were ready to sit down and talk, when in actuality they were lying to the international community saying they were dismantling their nuke program, ;whoever bought that crock wasn't too smart; like i said lying to the U.N. while they were enabling their nuke. So whats the problem here? Too much talking? In order to bring this critical state of affairs to a halt , many strategist have said invasion is the only thing, mush like what we have done with/about "Saddam problem". But I guess we have to come to the realization of who are/is the mastermind(s) behind the arms sells?????????????? Russia!!!! Russia is doing this in retaliation for the America backed independence of Kosovo and Georgia. Look out, Putin is a very dangerous man.

Obama is to blame for a very screwed-up foreign policy, that gives these two troublemaking rogue countries freedom to keep becoming even more extreme. There is more we can do to put the brakes on Iran & N.Korea, Obama is just the town idiot. Hillary Clinton's so embarressed by his foreign policy that she will barely be seen in public.

Western media is paid big time by the Jewish scum and their gov'ts. It can't be free. I read media from both Iran and the West, and the West is all crap/propaganda. It is nowhere near free.

I guess Obama is paying news agencies to broadcast against Iran, kinda like Bush paid them to show news that showed his positives, whe he had not many of.

We have to lift the veil on Russia, and catch them in the act. Even President Obama has stated that ,"Putin has one foot in the old ways of doing business and one foot in the new.". So what is to say that if during the Vietnam conflict , with Russia suppling the Viet-cong with AK-47s and other equiptment for fighting American troops, and in Afghanistan, and if Russia isnt if not fully behind the N.Korea, and Iran armament, russia has some sort of part in helping those nations produce nuclear weapons.
The Russian have always been very petty when it comes to ither catching up, or getting back at people, who they feel have hurt their little red egos. I dont think Obama is going to get through to Putin, you see what kind of guy he is and who his supporters are, and the fact that he allows Neo-Nazism to flourish in a country Hitler tried to take. Huh, irony.
