I am appalled, but not surprised, by the crackdown and bloodshed in Iran. I have such respect for the people who are demonstrating in the face of possible martyrdom. The people of the middle east have something Americans may have had bred out of them: the will to stand up for themselves.
We are letting our government grow exponentially and eat up our personal liberty at an alarming rate. Yet we do very little to stop it.
In Iran they are dying in the streets because they want their votes to be counted. Something as simple as actually counting the votes is worth their lives. What a concept. Shame on this administration for not taking a stand for freedom.
