Green Revolution Update

I know many are wondering why I have not posted on the Iranian situation (mostly because of your emails). While events are continuing, and deaths are increasing, as of yet there is no visible change. The protests themselves was a change, but they have yet to take the next step. For what I see in the movement is just a willingness to make themselves sheep to the slaughter, and until they move to become wolves themselves and take their country and their freedom back no further stories about this uprising will occur. They need to know what they want and get what they want. Peaceful reform does not seem to be working, as the Iranian government is already using violence beyond what took place in America during the civil rights movement.

If you want freedom you must make yourself free. First know what removes your freedom: is it the one who gives orders or bullets? Which one is to blame ultimately for your oppression? Target the source of oppression first, and that will limit the bloodshed that oppression brings to you.

If bloodshed is limited, stick with peace. Yet for Iran, peace has not worked. To be treated as a savage means you must become a savage to become free. In the chaos of violence is held the chaos of freedom- freedom being the peaceful result of liberating violence. Do not mistake my words for that of a radical. I am not endorsing violence against any non-violent or democratic government. I am saying a regime taking away freedoms with no legitimate elective system that uses violence and oppression to maintain power is deserving of a violent response by the oppressed. It is their only way to gain a just freedom in Iran. In this situation, these events, I endorse violent action. It is only in this circumstance, my viewpoint is not the same for Thailand, or Egypt. Certainly not for America. In Europe, only Belarus is oppressive yet a movement for freedom must take place before a fight for freedom.
