Amazing.

In 1989, the students at Tiananmen Square were not able to dislodge the regime. But now we have Twitter, et al (I never even HEARD of it until a few months ago), and the Mullahs have no answer for it.

I remember 1979 like it was yesterday (turned 28 that year), and these students weren't even born yet. But look at what they are doing. If they are not killed (and this is NOT 1989), they may just bring down a regime. Wow.
