On CNN: Siamak Kalhor of Radio Iran (Mousavi supporter) just put Americans in their place |

Edited on Sun Jun-21-09 03:57 PM by derby378
He put forth the question of what would have happened if Americans took to the streets after the 2000 elections the same way Iranians are doing right now.
We as a nation have forgotten how to be revolutionaries. This is part of the reason that Herr Decider was able to impose his will on our nation - we forgot how to stand on our hind legs and take what is rightfully ours.

10. I have been to many demostrations with a few hundred at best |
|
when truth be told we need a couple million
And yes, you MIGHT have to get teared gassed and some folks MIGHT have to die.
I am willing to die for a just cause, are you?
Sadly I concluded a while ago Muricans are no longer willing, and until that changes nothing will change.

11. Those couple million will be in the streets, when |
|
they are jobless, homeless, pennyless and hungry, when they have lost everything. It's coming, maybe not in my lifetime, most likely during my children's life

3. our most vocal "revolutionaries" had been saying "there is no difference between Bush & Gore |

they would have looked silly/hypocritical/dishonest starting a revolution over the election.

4. We, as Americans, could have done it. |
|
But we had virtually no political help. I guess our outrage was left wanting.
