Iranian Revolution (Day Fourteen)

Update (6/27/2009):Berman Post: Iranian Revolution (Day Fifteen). End of Update:

Clerics are broadcasting the message that some of the protesters should be executed (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D992DNJO0&show_article=1 and http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=7935256). This could be a signal that the bloody crackdown may move from the violent streets to the courtroom.

Videos embedded below. In the first one (VERY Graffic Warning) you see a man shot dead. The second video is a few days old, but you can see the government forces shooting from the roof top (http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/06/killer-iranian-regime-shoots-man-in.html).

The protesters put together a 'beat it' video.



Protesters are asking Israel for help (http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/132073)

Obama makes another statement, once again stronger then past (http://hotair.com/archives/2009/06/26/wow-obama-kinda-sorta-backs-mousavi). Once he gets over excusing his past statements (mistakes) Obama says what he should have said over a week ago.



More on his comments at http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D992FBVG0&show_article=1.

McCain (R), Lieberman (D) and Graham (R) to introduce legislation meant to help the protesters get around the government's internet blocks/restrictions (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/06/25/senators-to-introduce-iran-legislation).

Charles Krauthammer on how the protesters need their Yeltsin for the revolution to succeed (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/25/AR2009062503361.html).

John Bolton advocates for regime change (http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-bolton26-2009jun26,0,5709858.story).

Ion Mihai Pacepa pens an open letter to Pásdárán (Islamic Revolutionary Guards Generals) (http://spectator.org/archives/2009/06/26/an-open-letter-to-the-psdrn-ge); "I appeal to you, generals of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards, the Pásdárán: Do what I did! Defend the people, not the tyrant. I am a two-star general who was once at the top of communist Romania's version of the Pásdárán, the Securitate, and I learned the hard way that no tyrant can keep a country's people enchained for ever.

I have been in your shoes. In December 1988, the Romanians took to the streets to overthrow their two-bit Dracula dictator, Ceausescu, just re-enthroned at the end of a rigged election, just as the people of Iran are trying now to get rid of their Hitler-style dictator, just re-enthroned at the end of another rigged election. Like Ahmadinejad, Ceausescu also ordered his security forces to open fire against the population.

I sided with the people.

Neda's father has apparently been forced to say that the protesters killed his daughter (http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NzViMjQ0NDUxODhhYzRkYjRiMjQ3ZTk2ZjFiODJlMDU=).

"Arab Activists Watch Iran And Wonder: 'Why Not Us?'"; the dominoes are falling... (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/06/25/AR2009062504415.html).

"U.S. denied Iran official visa for U.N. meeting: envoy" (http://www.reuters.com/article/GCA-Iran/idUSTRE55P4RG20090626)

Could Ahmadinejad be better for the United States than Moussavi would be (http://www.esquire.com/the-side/war-room/ahmadinejad-vs-moussavi-iran-policy-062509)? My vote is always for freedom.

If this involved Israel, the UN would be acting a lot more forceful and would have done so quickly (http://frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=35365).
