Iranian Students are reportedly holding 3 Hebollah hostage demanding release of 80 students
Interview with Iranians in Tehran | 6.13.2003 | DoctorZin

Posted on 06/14/2003 12:23:39 AM PDT by DoctorZIn

I just heard from friends in Tehran.

They are telling me that the Students have taken three memebers of Hizbollah hostage. They are demanding the release of the eighty students that had been arrested by the regime four days ago.

They are very optimistic that things are going to change soon. They can hear the protests and see the courage of the people to stand against the regimes forces.

It was also reported that the students had taken over the televison station in the city of Shiraz.

Also of interest, most of them watch LA based Iranian TV for news. These are the same satilite stations that are struggling to stay on the air for lack of support among US business or government. It appears they are doing for Iran waht we can't even do for Iraq. In case you don't know this, the US still does not have broadcasts in Iraq, while the Iranians do.

Finally, the Tehranians were asking “why they haven’t heard from President Bush?.”

Bush is too busy playing around with the Israeli-Arab conflict to give focus to one of the dominoes he helped topple in Iran.

HELLO, SPEAK UP! Don't worry about pissing off the govt of a country you called EVIL.

We may be witnessing the beginning of the end for another prong of the Axis of Evil.

Let Freedom Ring!

“why they haven’t heard from President Bush?.”

Perhaps because he doesn't want to give validity to the Mullahs charge that Americans are running the show.

Anyway, I think it's interesting the protests started a month before their often pronounced date. Might have caught the Mullahs off-guard.

G'nite.

The people who get the government they want do it themselves. Now they are victims because the US isn't doing something militarily about it now?

Jeesh!! What does it take a personal interview? Dubya' has toppled a reshime in Iraq, freed Afghanistan, and is in the process of helping to rid Israel of terrorists. :)

The Iranians want Bush's support because it increases the pressure on the regime. They know that the US is fighting Europe on this. They want our support til it crumbles the European support for the mullahs.

America owes them our help. I have zero sympathy for the mullahs; their day has come and gone.

BTW, I just checked all the major Arab online sites.
Only one had a story of the protestsin Iran and it was buried deep in the site.
Big surprise.

Here is a blog that allegedly has translations of posts from students in Tehran. It has some interesting info. Maybe you can correlate some of this with what you are hearing.

If those students at Tieanmen Sqaure had taken some of Jiang family hostage, it might have worked out differently, bully for the Iranian students!

If the mullahs don't know the third one's dead, you don't need any. <VBG>
