So, I ain't green at Twitter. I ain't hopeful for the future of Iran, either way.
Frankly, I am quietly wishing people would stay off the street for a little while, and not get themselves killed over what is just the competition for the equivalent of the Head of PR Department.
Secretary of the Press isn't worth dying for, folks.
(God bless all of you, and good luck out there!)
These people aren't speaking out for a leader, they are speaking out for a symbol. They want reform. I personally think our leadership should be a little more excited about their desire for reform.

I suppose it's the optimist in me that looks at this situation and sees that there is some hope for change in Iran. I know it won't be a true revolution, but sometimes it only takes a single snowball to begin an avalanche.
