1. Heartbreaking.
I pray these people have thier votes counted. This is a very big thing. Ukraine had an orange revolution, this is the Green revolution in Iran.

5. Taste of Freedom sticks with you
It is satisfying to know that most Iranians are reasonable individuals who, like we were for eight long years, burdened with an ignorant ass clown for their president. It is also satisfying to know that a new generation is leading this push to truly open Iran's doors to the West and make freedom a paramount issue.

12. I don't want to see another Tiananmen Square Massacre unfold.
That was heartbreaking to watch all those years ago. I hope things here will end differently instead of the government calling out the troops and tanks for a brutal crackdown.
