re: #336 Yashmak

I saw that too. It’s been a heart-wrenching thing to watch, especially since I cannot in good faith say that I believe it’s in our interests to come out in favor of the pro-Moussavi protests, due to his hardline past.

Regardless, I still feel for the protesters themselves, and what they’re trying to do for their country.

In the revolutions I read about the initial hardline groups are full of idealism. Then they break down into groups competing for power based on human nature. A peaceful mullah lead effort might be the best way to overcome the thugocracy in Iran. Like you, I can’t tell. I think we should though enable communications so that people in Iran can talk to us. If they need mobile devices send them mobile devices from China.
