what can we do to help them.......
encourage them to leave Islam forever. Otherwise, they will simply exchange one oppressive regime/theocracy for another.
Never fails.
...what can we do to help them...
Call the media an ask them to cover this breaking story!!!
Hmmmm...perhaps if the US and Russians made some "strategic" military moves toward the border to pull the Iranian military's attention away from the demonstrators....?
I strongly suspect that we already are. Better to cause the fall of the mad mullahs from within than expend our military by use of conventional force.
Vote to maintain our sitting POTUS!
At this time THAT is the best we can do to help them.
We already did it, by taking out Saddam and sticking to our promise to put Iraq on the road towards a free democracy. And the Iranians have been watching the Mullahs drag them into yet another war, this time with the US and a free Iraq. They've also noticed that almost all of the victims in this "insurgency" (which it isn't, an insurgency must be home grown) are fellow Muslims.
Everyone has been waiting for some big event in Iraq to affect the election. What will be the effect of a relatively peaceful transition from the Mullahs to something new? I'm betting that the "anti-demonstration" and other forces that came to counter this protest left, not so much because they were intimidated by the size of the crowd, but because they really didn't have the heart anymore to back the Mullahs. Its almost exactly what happened when the Shah fell.
re: What can we do to help them?
The 82nd Airborne Division paratroops in and shoots the evil leaders dead, salutes the crowd, flies away.
Prayers, because I think that's all they'll get from our state dept.
