---------
In Iran, people are in the streets fighting and risking their lives for a shot at freedom. Their oppressive government staged a blatant election fraud and the people will not stand for it. Protests are peaceful and sometimes even silent, but the militia and men called the Besiji are turning things violent. At least 8 people are dead and another 28 are wounded... and the actual number is probably much, much higher than that.
