Interesting how people are so excited about the Iran elections
while over 250 indigenous people were slaughtered in Peru.
Ah well - I'll pay attention to that wonderful friend of America, that spokesman for democracy, Garcia of Peru.
Have they found the bodies of the indigenous leaders yet?
Has this been covered on M$Greedia yet? Of course not.

Guess they aren't blocking the neo-con pipeline.

3. If it's not on CNN then it's not happening.
Have you ever noticed just how many of the hosts of all the cable so called news channels are from Miami and have been through the cia/UofM's psyops training program?

:shrug:

6. Huh? Snarking about people being interested in a coup/revolution...
Edited on Sun Jun-14-09 11:37 AM by BlooInBloo
in a country of what - 70 million? A country that dominates middle east politics?

Seriously? Snarking about being interested in *that*?


EDIT: I'm all for people snarking on the over the top interest in Susan Boyle, Miss Bewbie California, and a whole host of other things. Somehow developments in Iran seem to be of a rather different character. Maybe it's just me.

7. The US population is about 300 million.
Oh ... wait ... you're talking about Iran.

The OP was talking about the US (I think).

8. And the best part is that we have all become EXPERTS on Iranian politics in less than a
week of getting the "inside scoop" from our corporate media. And, of course, the universally-acclaimed journalistic method called "tweeting" or "twittering" or something.

9. Its typical of DU, the Somali coastline was all the rage one week
now no one talks about it. Not everyone has to be interested in what you are interested in.
