Hear Hear.
I’ll refrain from my true feelings LoL!
Quite right.
If you’d had your way, the poor lass would have died in a nuclear attack instead. 😎

Sorry chaps, but these religious nutters that run Iran, hate women and all that they stand for, they don’t want them to have any powers or self esteem, just produce male babies for indoctrination. The general population that just want freedom and a pleasant life, will eventually get beaten into submission by the undemocratic scum and their fanatical thugs that they call a police force and army, sounds a bit like our friends in China doesn’t it.
To think that anything will come of Nedas sacrifice is unlikely, she’s a woman after all, I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.
Besides, according to them it’s our fault, the UK has caused all this happen, maybe we did, lets hope so and it succeeds.
I’m quite sure that the Shah was an undemocratic despot too, but what were the French thinking of when they allowed Khomenei political asylum in Paris for all those years in order that he could build up a hatred of the West, the French who protected him and gave him the democratic freedom that he wasn’t prepared to pass on to his own indeginous population.
It makes me shiver to think that this society has probably got the capacity to produce nuclear weapons.

Although there are reports of new demonstrations this weekend, the mullahs and their enforcers seem to have matters well in hand for the time being.
With Neda Soltani dies the popular notion that today’s advance IT — cell phones, the internet, Facebook, Twitter, etc. — can bring down tyrannies. The mullahs of Iran have succeeded in blocking many of those technologies and using them to their own ends, tracking down dissidents and even hacking a college website in Tennessee that supported the demonstrators.
The demonstrators had the gadgets. The mullah’s men had the guns. End of story.

From the looks of it, that is precisely what is happening.
More protesters have been shot. A sniper was even deployed and shot at least one person dead

Neda Soltani’s death and martyrdom will only invigorate the protesters and bolster the revolution movement in Tehran and all across Iran. Her death will not be in vain. It will be avenged, thanks to the Iranian people.
The “mullahcracy” better not fast track their own demise by sending their army to crush the rioting, as it would backfire or even worse, embroil into a civil war, which would be entirely counterprodictive.
