Iran Cries for Reform
Protest actions in the mostly quiet corner of Iran have broken through much controlled media and the internet, something totally unheard of from that corner of the world. A very closed society that is Iran used to have very little known about it except for the anti-Western antics of it’s President Ahmadinejad who has repeatedly lambasted the West and it’s allies for meddling in the affairs of Iraq and many other countries such as Afghanistan. He was supposed to have won the just concluded presidential elections, first declared the winner via a landslide vote, but in-fighting within the ruling cleric’s group resulted in protests from the opposition a sure sign of trouble brewing from within. The government has banned all Western reporters from entering the country and all news comes out through the internet, the only form of communication the government couldn’t control. Using programs and anti-spy/tracking technology made by exiled citizens abroad, pictures and even video are streaming out of the closed society that is locked in a battle for freedom, something that has to be fought for and even to die for.
