Iran

So you openly admit that you're uneducated on the matter, and yet still feel compelled to offer an opinion? What a strange fellow you are.

It's to provoke a response.

If I merely said "Oh the Iran election? I don't know too much about that" I would've been ignored and I would've remained clueless.

On June 19, the United States House of Representatives voted 405-to-1 in support of a resolution supporting "all Iranians who embrace the values of freedom, human rights, civil liberties and the rule of law" and condemning "ongoing violence against demonstrators."[166]

Oh boy, that statement is going to do so much.

You know, there's a whole vast land of the Interwebs out there. The information isn't beyond your reach.

Oh boy, that statement is going to do so much.

It's going to make our congressmen feel good about themselves, and in the end, that's all that really matters.

Support from the U.S. government won't help one bit. Now Khameini can label reformers as pawns of the evil Americans. Sure, our words might encourage Iranians, but words don't hurt Ahmaminimejad.

And now...videos of protesters being beaten are being advertised in a big attention grabbing tab at the top of the Youtube homepage?

What does showing us a girl being beaten by cops teach anyway? I thought most Americans don't like Iran in the first place because we're told that they're bad sand niggers. Isn't this kind of just beating a dead horse?
