Shocked to my core by watching videos from Tehran today, several people shot dead...with an eye full of tears, we watch and hope for a stop to this bloodshed...

Just read about the tank in Azadi Square.
This reminds me of China.
The people in the US are all Iranians now. That's what everyone is saying.
Not speaking for the current President, obviously, but the people are with the people of Iran.

We hope and pray with you both. This much be too much to bear, especially if you have friends and relatives in the large cities.

I'm as shocked as you and am continuing to pray for peace. I am praying that the police and army will soon turn to the side of the citizens.

Told you this was coming YEARS ago, Mr Behi. As the regime comes closer to collapse, the violence will only increase. This is your 4th of July, hold it tight!

Mr. B, can you tell us westerners what you think the protesters hope for (besides a fair election)? Are there changes they, and you, would like to see in the political structures of Iran? Or are these questions too hard to answer right now?

I have been reading Al Jazeera online and come away with more and more questions.

I can't even wqatch any more. I am so sad for the families of the victims, and very worried about those arrested and what they must be neduring. What can we do? I have called nearest Iran embassy and also emailed.

Today, in the west, we read "Iran’s Guardian Council has said that the clerical body that oversees the Islamic Republic’s elections sees no need to overturn the results of disputed June 12 presidential election." I thought this body was the ticket to really move forward to oust Khameini. I'm a foreigner - what do I really know about Iranian system of government?
I suppose we will will never know the truth - it seems anyone in power (cleric/political) is easily swayed by some "force" within the country. That force linked to waving batons, tear gas, bullets and paranoid (insecure) leadership that needs to blame every western institution and non-Islamic cultural entity for the attempted poisoning of all things Iranian. I see the curtain closing again. Fear makes one weak and not strong. This show of bloody force in the last week has been hard to watch. When will those holding weapons of destruction stop striking their own children?

I so sorry. I wait this over the more possible soon.

On this day - June 24, 2009 the government of Iran is slaughtering the people.
I'm shaking so hard I cannot work.

In light of the intense protests in Iran and the great effectiveness of social media in breaking through what would normally be an easily repressed effort, I want to announce that we are steering our audio tweets program entirely in the direction of Iran until further notice.

Just in case Iranians believe that the US people have forgotten...
Yes, those who pay attention to only MSM probably live on that pablem.
Many of us take it for what it is (not much).
This is really special.
"Stand by Me"
On June 24, Iranian Superstar Andy Madadian went into an LA recording studio with Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and American record producers Don Was and John Shanks to record a musical message of worldwide solidarity with the people of Iran. This version of the old Ben E. King classic is not for sale - it was not meant to be on the Billboard charts or even manufactured as a CD.....it's intended to be downloaded and shared by the Iranian people...to give voice to the sentiment that all people of the world stand together....the handwritten Farsi sign in the video translates to "we are one". If you know someone in Iran - or someone who knows someone in Iran - please share this link

We in America are with you not because of politics but because we are people like you and we care.
