"the opposition will be held 'directly responsible' for the violence the regime will unleash on any further demonstrations." How can any government so blame the innocent for their own crimes and sins? This was taken from an article in Slate:

Ayatollah Khameini Affirms Election, Warns Demonstrators

To paraphrase Stalin: "The voter has little power, the one counting the vote as all the power."

Rigging an election and then hurting, maming and killing the opposition doesn't sound like the right way to legimatize a government. Iran will be in for some interesting times!

"I am being treated as a criminal."

"I am being treated as a criminal."

charged with the murder of Dr. George Tiller

Duhhhh!!!

No shit???

You walked into a church, murdered an usher named George Tiller (whose day time job happened to be abortion provider) and threatened two men (who would have apprehended you) with your pistol! Regardless of how self-righteous you feel and how much your fellow members of the anti-abortion er "pro life" movement have encouraged you, killing adults humans is a crime.

It also violated one of the 10 Commandments? ("Thou shall not kill.")

Did you forget that little detail?

pro life???

Yesterday, Dr. George Tiller, a Wichita Kansas abortion MD ("provider") was murdered in his church, where he was an usher. To add to the pain, the first response to the KSN.com webpage article was a "we're glad he was killed and that he is in hell" [definitely "words to the effect"]. A number of "pro-life" people disapproved of the murder; the news media featured a couple of "pro-live" types who not only approved of this murder but one said "it was the best thing that could have happened to Dr. Tiller". Somehow, this jerk conveyed the opinion that Dr. Tiller was the better for being murdered.

This is so fucked up!
