    on the streets of Tehran, I wish them nothing but luck and success.

    But they're up against it, to say the very least, facing nearly insurmountable odds.

    Imagine if we cared like that about our government and nation...cared enough to risk our freedom and very lives...it is awe-inspiring.

    but, sad to say, not for the good of the country, only the complex.

    the courage of the man standing in front of the tank is of a different order than the courage of the man driving the tank.
    I prefer a bit more intellectual rigor in a debate of the proper use (or misuse) of American force.

    It's not zero.

    I'm amazed by this show of support for democracy. We forget so often in this country that you can't paint the people of a country with the same brush as you can their leaders. I've had several conversations with people who are just amazed--they didn't even think Iran was a democratic country to begin with and the shock of this revelation has floored them.

    True heroes of democracy, justice, and liberty... I wish there were something tangible I could do to help.

    Don't know what her name is but saw the African American lady sing "Monkey Man", with the Stones of course, in Cleveland about 1996.

    Ans she is and was awesome. Still picture her fantastic legs and can still hear her magnificent voice 13 odd years later.

    Maybe this goes to show you that a scam review should be done on our government. Like the Iranians maybe we need to stand up for our freedom.
