Iran is about ready to do something... stupid

Well apparently February 11 is going to be the 31st anniversary of the Iranian revolution and both sides are about ready to do something. From CNNWorld

Two top Iranian opposition leaders have called on supporters to protest on February 11, the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, an opposition Web site reported.

According to The Green Way Web site, a meeting took place Saturday between opposition leaders Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hossein Moussavi at Karroubi's home.

They discussed the two executions that happened last week and the cases of 16 protesters who went on trial Saturday, the site reported.

"The widespread arrests of political activists and university students, the silencing of the media, and the forced confessions of prisoners are against the principles of Islam and the constitution of Iran," the leaders said in a statement.


Oh but that isn't the best news folks, Iwannajihad is spouting off some crazy (and frankly disturbing) rhetoric too...

Meanwhile, state-run Press TV quoted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday as saying that the nation will deliver a harsh blow to "global arrogance" on February 11.

Press TV offered no details on or explanation of the statement.


Great, for those of you reading this through facebook I still have my profile set to support the "Green Revolution" that was started after the June "elections" in Iran that were clearly and obviously fraudulent. Things are going to get very ugly very soon in Iran, note to Obama: step up and support the revolution. Unless you want to be on the wrong side of history.
