(AGI) - Jerusalem, 1 July - Six persons who had demonstrated against the regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have reportedly been hanged in Iran, reported the Jerusalem Post, based on a telephone call with a source in Tehran.

The hanging would have taken place in Mashhad.

The news hasn't been confirmed, but the same source quote a sermon delivered by ayatollah Hadi Gafouri in which he urges protesters to be careful because they are risking their lives.

Methinks the six hanged might not view the situation as “sticky”. Statistics mean nothing when they happen to you.

Governments in general exist because the people decide the price of submission is better than the price of opposition. So long as the protesters believe this, they’ll lose.

Those who decide “to this we devote our lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” win. Those who don’t, lose.

Dig up the many past threads to wit “what good is a handgun against an army” and other “all I need to win is a rock to obtain heavy artillery with” posts. The ability is there; the will is not.

Indeed, one commander (with willing troops) defecting would change everything. This is often considered critical to a revolution’s success: that the oppressor’s forces not be uniformly loyal.

If we manage to get obama out of the white house and Palin in,we need to have something like the OSS of WWII to help give support to pro democracy/anti islamic movements worldwide

She could get George Bush to run it.

I hear ya. Stoning seems to be a big favorite too, when it comes to their women.

I know what you mean.  Look, all I'm saying is that if the protests remain peaceful, the protesters can't be faulted by anyone.  If they want world support, I think it's best they go on general strikes, march in the streets and do other productive things that let the goverment know it's days are numbered.

I don't want this to reach the level where most people would say, "Well, if they were doing that here they'd get the same thing."
