Default Witnesses: At least 4 Iranian protesters killed

I placed this article in the "war on terror" section because a government that attacks its own citizens is a threat to the entire world.

And Yahoo news leads you in with a headline then when you get to the page it sometimes gives a different headline (I think to further dangle the carrot) I'm sticking with the initial one here.

Opposition Web sites and witnesses say security forces fired on anti-government protesters in the capital Sunday, killing at least four people in the fiercest clashes in months.

At least two sources claim Mousavi's, (the guy who ran against the current leader) nephew was among the dead.
Why aren't we doing anything???

The precedent has already been set.

The POTUS will wait for someone in Europe to lead. He won't even speak of this until someone else does so first. It might interfere with our negotiations to stop Iran from enriching uranium.

Like Michael1 I made this point yesterday, Obama said what was needed to be said. So not to inticce the Iranian govt. which already denied it is an inside Iranian problem. They blame the Brits and the USA for it all.

And does anyone think what might be in the works would be discussed B-4 hand on national TV?

This is just my opinion saltwn but this should have still gone it the thread we have on the subject. The first one I and others created got buried, now if this one takes off the last one will to. And we lose what has happened already.

With so many new members they don't know where the 1st one is (myself included) and might not find the 2nd one given the way new threads have started.

The last thing I would want is to break the thread that started this topic. But that is just me. We lose things every day so really why not background on this subject.

Sorry somethines we agree to disagree... lol

You might try linking this one with a post in the other and visa versa.

Cool but I was just giving my opinion... At my age the mind doesn't always help me out...

But thanks for listening...
