Great Info Tips

Hundreds of thousands of Iranian protesters streamed down the streets in the capital demanding their votes be recounted. The re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinjad has stirred the protesters to fill the streets, yelling and complaining about the election.

The recent photos in newspapers and video clips on television show the police swinging their nightsticks at anyone who got in front of them, including women. I watched as one seemed to aim at the mid sections of protesters who got in his way. Some police took to a rooftop, firing on the protesters below, killing 1 man and injuring many others.

The protesters were arguing the election was rigged. The big mahoff got his way and the people feel he did something to the votes to make it go his way. Mir Hossein Mousavi was with the protesters. He felt he was leading the election. Most Iranians wanted him to win and voted for him. He is requesting the votes be recounted.

Be thankful you are in America where we have a much better life than the Iranians. Too many people take for granted what freedoms we have. We have choices we can make on our own, no one telling us what to do, what type of job to have, or what kind of education we can pursue. Americans tend to forget these things. They are our rights as American citizens, yet some choose to abuse these rights. While we can feel for the people of Iran and what they are going through at this time, we also have to understand that as Americans we need to remember our freedoms. God bless the U.S.A!
