Television and newspapers have not been a great help in understanding what is going on in Iran today. The authorities are resricticting reporters' movements and cancelling visas. The Internet and Twittering young Iranians have become the new Committees of Correspondence for this revolution. An election has been stolen by a Holocaust-denying freak and the corrupt religious powers that back him up. The Iranians want their country back and all of us who blog, comment, and follow their struggle can support them by simply posting our thoughts in the belief that we will be read on their screens in Iran. Pass it on. Yes they can.
Nico Pitney has been live-blogging for days on Huffington Post and is receiving minute-by-minute reports from Iran. I urge everyone to read him and to get on the web in a way that can help the brave young people in Tehran. If this disgusting regime is any where near the edge let's give them a strong shove.
