but the protest tomorrow in Iran could be very bloody.
It could be a turning point in many ways, a defining moment or tipping point where access to information through advanced communications technology proves more powerful than riot police, truncheons and a dictatorial theocracy.
I hope not, but it could become one of those major world events, one where you remember where you were when you heard the news, like 9/11/2001 or 22 November 1963.
Wouldn’t it be great if, when your kids ask you 20 years from now, where were you when that went down, you could answer that you were protesting silently on the capital steps, in solidarity with the ordinary people of Iran ?
A guy in Boston just told me that they were having a protest tomorrow. I suspect all major American cities are.

A professor once told me that revolutions occur in times of rising expectations. I think that is certainly true in Iran today.
also demonstrated in 2000.
Election fraud is election fraud.
“Pretend” Democracies don’t last very long.
It is apparent that the Iranian people believe they have a real Democracy.
We’ll soon find out whether or not the Iranian leaders are afraid that their citizens are correct.

How are protests in America going to help Iran?
Last I checked we were the devil according to them so wouldn’t siding with them give them more fuel to stick to their results?
Honestly guys, I’m not trolling. I truly don’t understand. Would we have changed the 2000 election if people in __(name your favorite country)__ had protested?
.
That’s the word that the Iranians who are running the event are using, and it seems very appropriate for them to protest. Many of them voted in last Friday’s election, and feel their votes were stolen.
Maybe for some of them, some of the Persians who I will be with tomorrow, it is about the election results.
But for natural born Americans like me, I think a better word is “solidarity.”
I am standing silently in support of those who, I fear, are going to be killed tomorrow, by the dozens or more.
They are risking their lives for the principles laid out in our Declaration of Independence.
.
Does this give “more fuel to stick to their results ?”
Golly, the dictators running Iran today can twist things around any way they want, and I can’t control that.
But I am not advocating the US intervene; I am not even addressing what outcome would be best for me or my country. I stand for the concept of “the consent of the governed.” I stand for self-evident truths. I believe those truths span time and culture and religion and location. I stand for certain unalienable rights, including the right of revolution against a despot.
You may be right; my participation may be used against those I support. But I do not want to later regret that I did nothing when Liberty was threatened. And this is the least I can do.
I hope to see you there.

When we saw people in other countries (including Iran) carrying American flags and saying “we are all Americans” it meant something. It may not have turned out well, but for that one moment the world was with us. I think that helped the national psyche a great deal.
We were attacked, and it was a horrible day, but we weren’t on the verge of any revolutions. If someone in Iran who’s going out to protest tomorrow–someone who is potentially risking their life if the Ayatollah follows through with his threat–can see something on the internet about people all over the world wearing green and saying “We are with you” I think it means something.
Let President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad know how you feel about his landslide victory in Iran. Lets get a billion votes for Mousavi for the freedom of Iran!! http://www.protestiranelection…
