Revolution in Iran

Most of the executions were reportedly carried out for drug offenses

Drug Jihad?

The level of opression in Iran is far greater than that of in Egypt. The backlash could result in more casulties.



I think the outspoken level isn't as high because of this face. I think they're still scared to speak out, they've got to be.

Rightfully so. Egypts military pledged to not attack protesters. They will get no such guarantee in Iran, I'm sure. Their government has no problem gassing/slaughtering them if necessary.

Apparently they think this is all a plot by the US

Iranian authorities have repeatedly accused opposition leaders of being part of a Western plot to overthrow the Islamic system.

You know, I was going to post something about that but wasn't sure what it was all about. I seen an interview on RussiaToday on YouTube, well here let me find it:



Damn bitches, keep our name out yo mouth. This isn't George Bush era were talking about. We have a competent president who is mindful of his surroundings.

I mean there's a video of their lawmakers calling for death to the ones leading the protests, and they're fucking chanting it. Are you kidding me? How does that make us responsible. I'd be pissed off and revolt too if our politicians did some crazy batshit insane stunt like that.

Well their society is based on batshit insane. And so is ours to an extent. Different flavors of crazy.

To overthrow the Islamic...wat
The more I hear about Muslims, the less I like them. They're all... strict and stuff.

What are you even talking about? You're belligerent.

In other news, Protests seem to be continuing in the region as North Africa seems to have some of their own.

Libya protests: Second city Benghazi hit by violence



I'm so glad to hear this continuing.

Have you heard about the protests going on in Wisconsin? They aren't quite in the same league as this stuff, but they've got the national guard on alert.
