Today was (as I'm writing this the day there has passed into night) a big day for Iran. 22 Bahman is the official day of victory for the Iranian Revolution under the Ayatollahs.
And as such the protesters against Ayatollah Khamenei's rule were out in force. Even as the ones in power (Khamenei and his presidential puppet Ahmadinejad) tried to control the media both inside and out, and as they tried to present themselves as firmly in control (only by force, not by popular acclaim).
Sullivan (and his blog wranglers) payed attention for the whole day. The link here is to a wrap-up: check the rest of his site for the various updates and retorts.
The only thing keeping Khamenei in power now is his corrupt personal army/police and basij street thugs. They have the guns, but the Iranian people have the numbers and the will.
Just pray to God this all ends with as little bloodshed as possible. And that it ends soon.
