The Promotion of Cowardice

Iran has made illegal the silent protest of over 100,000 people in Tehran. Their riot police have raided Tehran University and beaten students and shot at protestors. So far 7 Mousavi supporters have been killed. I personally have a gut feeling this is higher, but the reports are monitored coming out of Iran so there is just no way of knowing right now. By making peaceful protest illegal Iran is supporting open revolt against themselves. By making violence the only option for these people to express themselves they are furthering the cycle of cowardice they use to rule. I urge the supporters of Mousavi to conduct themselves in only a peaceful manner and to know that in time, in continued efforts over weeks and months, change will come. You will be heard the longer your stand up and make yourselves and your cause known. You have my support.
