      <![CDATA[Brendan: Thanks for keeping up with the coverage.<br>
<br>
There is going to be a rally at 6pm on Thursday at Westlake, to show our solidarity with the Iranians who are going to be out in the streets once again to commemorate the 18 Tir Massacre.<br>
<br>
Everyone who supports democracy, and the right to peaceably protest without the fear of violence, please come.  And bring your friends.<br>
<br>

      <![CDATA[People are people and their hopes and dreams don't change just because of where they live. History replays itself because people are the constant. What works in governance works because the people know they ultimately have the final say. What doesn't work is taking that say away. East or West, North or South. It's not cultural imperialism to recognise our humanity.

      <![CDATA[pls.  <br />
<br />
1. the Roman Catholic Cardinals didn't stop believing in the pope and thus goodbye divine rights and revolution didn't come from the disbelief of the Catholic cardinals.  Total history fail.<br />
<br />
2. Can we pleeeeeeze stop trying to see everything in Iran as a reflection of the west?<br />
<br />
it's pretty cultural imperialist and this is something from the alt media up with which we shall not put!
