You Say You Want a Revolution

This is no way to spend a day of vacation, but I can’t stop watching these protest videos from Iran. Murder videos, really.

It’s hard to believe these protests have been going on for six months already. Years ago, when this blog was young and fresh, and the students of Iran began to riot… well, I think we all got our hopes up. And it’s always been the same old story — government does something grossly stupid, people revolt, revolt gets suppressed, people go back to work.

But this time has been different. You just have to wonder if the results will be any different.
