1. K&R
I can't even put into words what I'm feeling today. I want to do something but I'm powerless. :cry:

2. We are damned no matter what we do about Iran.

If we act we will enflame the sitaution. If we do not act, we are made to feel guilty by a few who might think we can stop this without making it worse.

We are damned to hope for the best and peace to the people of Iran. Even if we were a pro-war gung ho bunch of bastards to act would be foolish to act.

4. Four minutes of zooming in and out on Google Earth with voice-over. Somehow the
horror loses its impact. It would have been more powerful if they had just blanked out the screen with no crawl--like a radio broadcast.

Shutting down all communications media in Iran was a smart move by the PTB.

6. It sure as hell impacted me,
and it still does every time I hear it. How can that woman's voice not move people?

7. Good. I'm glad it affected you that way. I have a very hard time with these networks that
are constantly running crawls or pictures-in-pictures because they are visually distracting when I want to focus on the message. Probably I was pissed because I expected to see some footage of the events but all I saw was the constant repetition of Google Earth.
