Is it legit? May very well be -- but if so, the Iranians will do best to sort it out without Western interference.<br /><br />I'm not too young to remember that the CIA meddled in a democratically chosen outcome back in the 1950s in Iran, nor that some pretty scary wingnuts have had strong Iran ideas all along. This has included supporting and arming Saddam Hussein to do their dirty work against Iran.<br /><br />If what's going on there is genuine, then I say stand back and let it happen. But unfortunately, the US has meddled too many times in Iran's history to be trusted to be involved this time around. Iranians must choose for themselves what is best for Iran -- and we must trust them to do so.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628991139706929312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-5575368790428872702009-06-17T08:18:20.213-05:002009-06-17T08:18:20.213-05:00Look for the hash tags #GR88 and #IranElection.

Once you've found those folks, it's easy to see who they are following to find others in Iran.rowmyboatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-64247936088537297862009-06-17T00:31:20.314-05:002009-06-17T00:31:20.314-05:00you know, i *want* to hate twitter, for all the us...you know, i *want* to hate twitter, for all the useless self-aggrandizing hipsters who masturbate with it, but --<br /><br />but.<br /><br />like any technology, it can be used for Good as well as E-ville.<br /><br />so right on. <br /><br />tweet, people. tweet to your revolutionary hearts' delights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-17816180379298822642009-06-16T23:01:03.418-05:002009-06-16T23:01:03.418-05:00I don't use twitter, but a post I read this mo...I don't use twitter, but a post I read this morning pointed me at twitter users persiankiwi and Change_for_Iran for tweets from Iran.
