Protests rage in Libya, Iran (video)

The scenes from Libya, where protesters have wrested control of the country’s second-largest city and now are moving in on the capital city Tripoli, are every bit as stunning as those in Egypt and Tunisia were. I think this line, from the son of dictator Moammar Gadhafi, is a bad sign if you’re a supporter of the regime:

We will fight until the last man, the last woman, the last bullet.

Normally, a government claiming a monopoly on force wouldn’t be talking about “the last bullet.”

ABC News has some astonishing footage of the protests in Libya as well as Iran, where protesters have been dragging police officers out of their cars and mobbing them in groups:

I actually had alot more respect for Ghadaffi

by Escape on

That he obviously did not deserve.He earned my respect during a conference years ago where he told the King of Saudi Arabia off.

Distractions:Mousavi and Karoubi,the MEK,Zionists,US etc

by Escape on

  These are distractions from the real cause of the Green protest's the I.R.I. and similiar minded Iranian's do not face.They are so accustomed to this distractive thinking,mass crowds of people protesting for Freedom does not even phase them.
Mousavi and Karoubi are politicians and not the piper's the I.R.I. has made them out to be.They know under their Presidency's the same events were very possible.Ahamdinejhad was only gas on the fire.

Soosy as we've seen this site has no effect on Iranian protest's and the events going on in Iran.It's nothing but blabbery.We're all simply onlooker's.Protests have nothing to do with the US,Isreal,Libya or Egypt,it has everything to do with Iranians and their Govt.
I wish you wouldn't get so upset because I believe these protest's are going to continue.That is up to Iranians inside Iran.Their cause grows each time.The Regime is feeding their own demise,they cannot stop the momentum.The people will protest again,their's is a new horizon now since this last protest we've seen the Guard cracking.
Iran is coming to a fork in the road.Eventually one of two things will happen,the Regime will either fall or they will destroy Iran themselves.

also i need to add this

by Soosan Khanoom on


also i need to add this ....... iran hard liners are feeding the Zionist ..... they are actually helping  it ...... the more they kill and arrest and put to jail the more Happy will Zionist regime of Israel be ........  now who is enemy here ? number one ?    Of course the hard liners in Iran ....... 

but  one question remains to be asked from Mousavi and karoubi  ... why did not you ask for your  supporters to rally on 22 bahman ?  I wonder ......

Now you all  " Rofagha "

by Soosan Khanoom on

Now you all  " Rofagha " with Sibil or without Sibil just open your eyes and do not let hate of IRI make you so blind to not see the reality that is happening on the streets ............ do not forget the policy of divide and rule ....... well Mash Ghasem you should know it since Daee jan Napoleon has warned you of it oh so many times ........

I am for freedom and democracy in Iran ....... and i hope one day we will have  secular government ... a government which strives to separate itself from any religious or spiritual matters

but I think there are extra hands in the middle of this fight who wants to just make things worse..... these hands are are never for building Iran but destroying it ...... they want to ruin our demonstrations by vilonce so it makes it more justify for mullahs to kill and they want also more people be killed by the mullahs so things even get more stormy ...... all for the benefit of no other country but our sweet innonce Isreal  ...

 No one likes  Khadafy, Iranian regime or the Chinese regime, etc.  But why should the US do all the regime changes.  All these regimes will be changed by globalist Socialist pro-Wall Street banking “democratic regimes”.   U.S is planning a new geography and a new world order.  It is all to keep American people away from an uprising in US which is inevitable anyway.  (The MEK being trained in Nevada is also for use as thugs in US later on.)


Please read the following article carefully.... US has been training MEK's (Mujahidin Khalgh who are worse than Red Khmers of Cambodia) in Nevada.  The whole North Africa spreading intoBahrain is pretext for division of Iran.  US has spent 200 million dollars on MEKs for infiltrating Iran and killing people on the street who are demonstrating against government  to blame it on government as well as killing pro government people and blame it on the demonstrators.....  

 

MEK is capable of anything ...... look what they did and who they support during Iran-Iraq war .... 

 also good to know that  the thugs that have killed over 500 people in Libya and they blamed Khadafy for it are actually south Sudanese pro US trained Christian communists.  (Marxist Islamists, yak same thing).

 

Already all the media are saying they are Khadafy’s thugs while they are hoarded in by US.

 I have already post one article concerning this on the news section here .... take a look 

now you are telling me I am covering it with fig leaf ........  I am not the one who covers here ........

Sosan , thanks for poem by Donne, and you avatar looks better

by Mash Ghasem on

too.

Unfortuantely you're still stuck equating thugs killing people, with brave people defending their rights. Which means you indirectly support the regime.

Violence in Iran is monoplozied by the state,

ENHESAR KHOSHONT DAR DAST REGIME,

and the state, namely Islamic Republic of Hell is the principal party responsible for all violence in Iran for the past 33 years.  If you can't see this RATHER VERY SIMPLE, ELEMENTAL FACT, then everything else you claim to: including Gahndi,peace sign, Donn,.will be seen as nothing but a fig leave to cover the crimes of IR.

Rozbeh jan: I  haven't had a sibil for almost a decade now. I'm treating your friend very delicately here. Only becuase of you.Take care.

 

"any man's death diminishes me, 
because I am involved in mankind. 
And therefore never send to know for whom 
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. "

by Soosan Khanoom on

now you made me change my picture so you all know what I stand for ...I am all for peace and peaceful demonstrations ...... I am a big Gandhi fan ....  I think that is the only way to win any struggle ....... especially in Iran .... we have to win back the heart and soul of our opponents and I am not talking about the regime but  the ordinary people who are supporting them ... we should respect their religion ...... we should respect their revolution ..... and that is if we are for a free and democratic iran ......and i hope we see that soon 

a poem that I like to share here ...... 

No man is an island entire of itself; every man 
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; 
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe 
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as 
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine 
own were; any man's death diminishes me, 
because I am involved in mankind. 
And therefore never send to know for whom 
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. 

John Donne

I am very nice to the Islamists, look at my signature. I am not asking for their torture and execusions (as many Iranians like to). Just giving these Islamists a bath is worse than torture for them

Sosan Khanom , your abstractions has no place in the real world,

by Mash Ghasem on

All civilized people condemns and abhor violence.

At the same time every human being in the world enjoys an  inalienable right for SELF-DEFENSE.

This is one of the most basic and oldest debates within social ethics: since Greek philosophers up to now in its "post-modern" version.

Do you think people have a right to defend themselves when faced by violence from that state, or not?

Now, in Iran for the past 33 years we have been murdered, raped, tortured,...by a bunch of thugs. These are monsters that will do any and every thing to stay in power. 

All of a sudden when people have begun to assert their will, and are  demanding freedom and justice, you equate, both sides as the same!

What is wrong with this picture.

Of course you don't mean to be an apologist for IR (god forbid), but isn't such a flimsy "argument" exactly what an apologist of IR would pose at this junction?

BTW, you really don't know about the struggles and difficulties  that millions of Iranians abroad have to go through on a daily basis, so please don't generalize , and don't speak on behalf on millions of Iranians outside of the country.

As far as I recall no one made anybody a spoksperson for the Iranian diaspora.

you guys are no better than

by Soosan Khanoom on

you guys are no better than IRI .......... you just are not in power ....... down with violence no matter what .........  i defend no one ....... and i do not care what you guys think of me ....... why should I ?  think what you like  ..... just do not beat yourself much on that

  We all are bunch of bacheh Soosools  cruising along on western countries drinking our latte and meanwhile make some comments here and there  ..... so that does not make any of us better than each other

My point s violence makes the situation worse and harder for people who are looking for freedom and demcoracy ......... PERIOD 

and if you think otherwise then I hope people like you never reach to any power

beating and killing is
