If you're going to call this post "Anti-American", don't even bother commenting, onegaishimasu
I haven't said anything about it because everyone else has but I am in complete support of the Iranian people.

Shame on you, America, for not doing the same thing when Bush stole the election twice. This kind of demonstration is what "freedom" looks like. And isn't it ironic that it's happening in one of the countries that's a member of the "axis of evil". Seriously, even though Bush is gone, I will never understand why we were so silent.

I hope everything is resolved peacefully in Iran and that whatever happens teaches the world that the people will always have more power than governments.

Yeah but I mean, until recently and I`m talking like, last week, American was bitching about Iran`s nuclear program and preaching about how they`re so billigerent and dangerous because they have one. Now everyone is like GO IRAN (btw, I`m using a Japanese keyboard so I can`t access some puncuation).

I think that the youthful face of the revolution does have a lot to do with the coverage though, you got that right. You were the first one who pointed it out to me in the coverage of the events leading up to the election.

As far as nothing else going on in the world, Pakistan is still a mess and Kim Jung Il is about to die so North Korea is looking pretty tense too.

It`s heating up to be a hot summer. The news is going to be explosive by August at the rate we`re going. It will be interesting to see what breaks over the next couple of months...
