...Now that the administration has publicly come out in favor of the protestors the Mullas have amunition against them. Tonight will be the worst violence yet because of it. ...
It promises to be a turning point one way or another.
BTW, it is interesting that their president Khatami is silent. Will he resign?

"It promises to be a turning point one way or another. "
Let's hope for the better. I think Bush coming out in support of the protesters was also a strong warning to the Mullahs. I wouldn't be surprised if we had our troops in Iraq ready to move in to Iran, if the Mullah's are trying to start a bloodbath, and I think they know it.
Also, it's just about 11 pm in Tehran now, when you said more people are expected to join the demonstrations, I hope they will.
Keep us informed.

We didn't need to do anything to help the Mullas which is what we have done. You will also notice that these students will now think that America will do something to help. Why I have no idea but there have been many student movements for freedom where they felt that America would step in and wave a magic wand to solve the problem. it doesn't work that way. If you people have any pull at all in those movements then you need to tell those people that the US is not going to do anything at all to help them! There will be nothing coming to them from us. At no time should they even talk about the US doing anything for them because we will only make things worse. If they start shooting they need to be able to carry the revolution out to the VERY END by themselves. Then America might be of some help.
