Twitter, Blogs and the Green Revolution
I must say it has been quite a tremendous experience witnessing the goings on of the last several days in Iran via electronic communication. It's been truly amazing to have live updates and communications directly from the streets in Tehran and all across Iran. To see the video and read the translations of the words and sentiments of the people as the struggle for the rights that we sometimes take for granted here in America. Of course, Josh and co. have been great on TPM providing coverage all weekend in fact and then keeping the information flowing up to now. Also I must commend Nico Pitney over at huffpost and Andrew Sullivan of the Atlantic (those guys haven't been sleeping) for their tireless efforts. I'll just say Viva Green Revolutionaries.

Beautiful video. Thank you so much for posting it.
One of the beautiful things that has come out of this chaos in Iran for me is that they have evoked my compassion and admiration where I had no experience of them before other than their leaders.
I hope that this will all be resolved well for them. I hold in my heart that the best interest of Iran and its people will be served.
