protest scheduled in Iran

And it’s nice to see the U.S.A. with a bit of verbal bite this month for once (though we were somewhat hypocritical in the other direction):

“The White House issued a statement Saturday condemning the Iranian government for attempting to block the protests. ‘By announcing that they will not allow opposition protests, the Iranian government has declared illegal for Iranians what it claimed was noble for Egyptians,’ National Security Advisor Tom Donilon said in the statement. ‘We call on the government of Iran to allow the Iranian people the universal right to peacefully assemble, demonstrate and communicate that’s being exercised in Cairo.'”

I would love to see the Iranian people succeed this time.
