Thread Name: BS: Election in Iran
Subject: RE: BS: Election in Iran
I am following #Mousavi and @NextRevolution on Twitter, live, now. The latter is a TUMS medical student, trying to treat people. Harrowing stuff. Trying to stay one step ahead of the authorities who are blocking internet sites, twitter and facebook accounts...

You can help: If you have a Twitter acct, change the timezone to GMT+3:30 - tehran, and your location also to Tehran. By flooding it you can help confuse the censors...

This reminds me of Greece in 1974 - we did come out of that black tunnel eventually, and better than before, but it took lives to achieve it. And it looks like Iran is going through the same kind of catharsis. My heart goes out to them.
