I can't believe we've been supporting the thugs of the Iranian government. It got me thinking. How progressive is it of us to ally ourselves with forces who kill its own citizens to prevent the propogation of democracy and human rights in the Middle East? Indymedia people, if you really are "progressive", you should be supporting the students in Iran who risk their lives to overthrow that oppressive regime. Not sitting in the comfort of the US and making excuses for the regime's brutality. Why do you support the Iranian regime? Simply because GWB is direct enough to call it an evil regime.
