After the Iranian Elections, folks rioted and called the elections a sham, a facade, and the government folks running them corrupt. The people threw stones, bottles, and lit things on fire. The Iranian Government responded with police on motorcycles with batons, swinging at protestors as they rode by. The next day as the group protests raged on, police or military guard opened fire on them, actually shooting at the crowd, and unfortunately killing people.Posted by Administrator
If I had not witnessed those scenes with my own eyes, I would have not believed it were possible in this day and age. It reminded me of the Attila the Hun raiders on horses with swords raiding villages, then raping and pillaging. It was a very pathetic spectacle, especially for a nation that prides itself on being the once great Persian Empire. One has to ask if Iran has learned anything about common decency, democracy, or what the present period is all about?
The Iranian Government tried to play down the uprising in the World Media, calling it incidentally, but the pictures show otherwise, 10s of 1,000s of people in the streets protesting is not a little event. And for everyone there, there are 20 or more people who are also very angry, but too timid or afraid to speak out for fear of retribution from a government they obviously no longer trust.
Currently, Iran's economy is in shambles, their leader, who was supposedly re-elected although that seems to be slightly in dispute right now is taking a very hard line on the world stage right now. This can only mean one thing; more of the same problems, and an escalation of dangers from proxy terrorists fulfilling the wishes of their leadership. Please think on this.
