11. actually, only some Iranians speak Farsi
a lot of Iranians speak various Turkish languages, and some are also ethnic Arabs that speak Arabic.

5. I'm very fearful for the protestors.
I wasn't surprised at the "results" of the election. It was what I expected. Now, I worry a great deal that there will be many lives lost there.

I know of nothing to do that will help, and that's very frustrating.

6. The Iranians Are in my Prayers
I hope they are successful in tossing their religious right out into the street. Mixing politics and religion never ends well.

7. Americans'- where are you ? We need to be doing this in our streets too
In East Tennessee and southwest Virginia, I have seen what is deemed, defended and supported as "the acceptable standards of health care" http://www.wisecountyissues.com/?p=62 Clearly PROFIT CARE is more important than PATIENT CARE in America. How many more will die thanks to the greed and mislead health care system we have now.

10. A consummation devoutly to be wished
I see in my mind's eye a vision. It's a bit cloudy. It involves Ahmadinejad, a lamp post and a length of rope.

That would be a crude form of democracy, but a valuable lesson for dictators.

13. I find it encouraging.
These people would not accept rule by a Taliban-like government. Of course what they have has been bad enough.

The bad guys in this country foment ignorance to get their way. It might even be MORE effective.
