SMUGGLED PICTURES

Well they made it out. Pictures I mean. The Iranian government did everything they could to keep the world from seeing the mass rebellion of young Iranian students to their dubious and obviously rigged election.

Now we know Iran's hardline Islamic Basij militiamen killed at least one person and wounded hundreds more just for expressing opposition to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his tyrannical government regime.

These young people have discovered two things; they have no freedom to express themselves and their vote counts for nothing. But what were we expecting?

The whole thing reminds me of the Iranian revolution thirty years ago—with one exception. No longer are the students shouting death to the Great Satan (the U.S.), instead they are shouting “death to the Iranian government.”

Isn’t it great not to be the most hated?
