Iran

i consider my self a news junkie, i always try to stay up with whats going on in the world. i consider my self to be extremely lucky to live in this era. we are on such a fine line in my opinion the whole world is on the brink, walking a tight rope between the light and the dark. i believe the Internet and specifically social networking and media sites are the fuel that is stoking the flames of freedom. "beware he who seeks to conceal the truth for in his heart he wishes to control you" or something like that. Information instant and from all over the world is what will keep us free. Whats happening in Iran right now, as amazing, and disturbing, and jaw dropping as it is, is coming to the world in a huge way. As i write this right now CNN is running an hour long segment about I-reporters, citizen journalists, who are risking their lives to bring the truth of whats happening in their country to rest of the world. I'm not sure nor do i care to speculate what will happen after these protests, whether Iran becomes a free nation or not, whether the Islamic fundamentalist state is toppled and a new secular government is formed or not. what is think is truly revolutionary not just for Iran but for the whole world is the access allowed by technology. my thoughts go to all those Iranians who are fighting for freedom as i write. I truly hope they all know that they have already succeeded.
