Iran is undergoing a revolution sparked by the sham re-election of it’s dictatorial leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Despite attempting to cut off all sharing of information, word continues to circulate as resourceful Iranians utilize the Internet.
Sites like Facebook and Twitter have played a critical role in information sharing, organizing and delivering real-time strategic responses to individual clashes. Twitter has been so important that the US Government asked the site not to perform scheduled maintenance as it would cause the service to be unavailable for a few hours.
In what is being called the first “Internet revolution”, Iran’s mostly under-thirty population is using cellphone cameras and wireless internet connections to organize themselves and get videos of demonstrations out to the world. Our hopes are with you and your cries of…
“FREEDOM FOR IRAN”
So thank you IRAN, for reminding the world that all nations (even if they are portrayed as evil) have human populations. We applaud your ingenuity, resistance and fortitude.
Long live the fighters!
