Andrew Sullivan and his helpers at The Daily Dish have been aggregating information coming out of Iran constantly all weekend and today. It’s impressive what they are getting from many sources.
I am both fearful and hopeful today. Fearful of the safety of the, literally, millions of protesters, but hopeful that some good (in other words, more freedom/representation) may come of this. It will likely be quite messy and not necessarily a benefit to the US immediately, but has to be better than what is there now pretending to be a republic.
A side story is how this blog has basically trumped the MSM. As Megan notes, it might not all be their fault, but it is yet another indication of the change that is coming.
