NRO has this piece written by an Iranian student:
Each night we set to the streets only to be swept away the next dawn by agents of the regime. Two nights ago, on Amirabad Street, we wrote "Down with Khomeini" on the ground. Before long, the mullah's vigilantes attacked us on their motorcycles. They struck a female student before my eyes so harshly that she was no longer able to walk. As she fell to the ground, four members of Ansaar-e-Hezbollah surrounded her, kicking her. When I and two other students threw stones at them so that they would leave her alone, they threatened us. We escaped into a lane and hid in a house whose owner, an old lady, had left the door open for us. A few minutes later, we saw the young lady being carried away by riot police, her feet dragging on the ground, her shattered teeth hanging out of her still-bleeding mouth.
Read, as they say, the whole thing.
Noted this one earlier - the more striking passage was about breaking into the student's room and sodomizing him with a dagger.
Wonder how loud people would be shrieking about 'stifling dissent' in the US if thugs were running around Hollywood sticking knives up people's butts.
What a horrible thing. And what Tim Robbins really needs--a stilletto suppository. That would chill his wind.
Every good revolution is based on two strengths - communication, and firepower. Not coincidentally, the first two articles of the Bill of Rights address these very tpoics.
These folks have already discovered blogs and cellphones; they can organise, and they have won broad public support.
Now they need guns. Shoot a few of those motherfuckers off their motorcycles when they gather to beat the next women and freedom will be theirs much sooner.
Hey, it worked on the Redcoats.
My fingers are crossed in the hope that these protestors are successful. Can you imagine a world without the fundamentalist regime in Iran?
I'm a bad boy! I posted this article on three separate Indymedia sites, based on Meryl's not finding any mention of Iran. We'll see how long they stay up.
