A change for the better

I watched a 16 year old girl die on sky news today, she was shot in the chest, some people nearby tried to administer aid but she was to badly injured,. Her crime was to protest the election result in Iran, she was unarmed and didn't appear to be doing anything other than watching proceedings, she had a right to be there the result is fraudulent. I don't think any impartial observer of events in Iran over the last couple of years will doubt the election was rigged. Madman Ahmadinejad is not likely to concede power easily so expect the death toll to rise, this is the first time since the Islamic revolution in 1979 that Iran has seen anything on this scale, it is highly unusual to go against the government in this way, but to go against the word of the Supreme leader Ayatollah Khameni is unheard of. If this momentum can be sustained for a little longer historic change will occur in that country, a change for the better. The population of Iran are no different to you and me they want the same thing's from life that we do. the chance to make their lives better. Technological advances over the last 20 years have opened the eyes of people to life in the west, the Internet, mobile phones, satellite TV, no longer can they be fed propaganda about how decadent we are, how the US is itching for a fight, how somehow the west is at war with Islam. Let us hope the death toll does not rise to high but rise it will, but this time I believe their will be change.
