So the world can read them. Now remember, their is more to the world than the US.

I've already said so that America and the Western countries could read them. If you want to throw in China, India and Pakistan, I have no problem with that.

My point was that…

Why are the protest signs in English?

There's that question again. Do tell.

If the protest signs are in English, the protesters are obviously not appealing to the Iranian leadership or the Iranian populace. At least when the Bush protesters were escorted to the back of the bus, they were…

Why are the protest signs in English?

To answer in kind, that's a rhetorical question is it not?

Yes, why indeed are the signs in English? To elicit American/Western support and put added pressure on the Iranian government? Why do you think?

JoeBigs,

You stole my thunder. Good on ya'. Far from being charged with leading the free world, I think the President is charged by the Constitution to preserve, protect and defend the very same document. And he is actually given very limited powers with which to do that--although you wouldn't…

kinniku,

So, one can then understand Iranians making due with whatever they found on the Internet that they could make use of.

Absolutely. However, can't one also understand why the US government would have an interest in making sure Iranian citizens continued to have access to it?

SuperLib,

Again with the personal accusations. You ask questions, mock the answers and refuse to answer questions put to you.

I happen to think that the US government is one of the best on the planet. I do not think it is the best and I do not think it…

kinniku,

Twitter is a very awkward medium for having anything resembling intelligent discussion. It is an ideal medium for arranging times and meeting places.

SuperLib,

From my perspective it looks like you used it as an opportunity to bring up your usual knee-jerk carping about the evil of the US government.

Once again you lead with a comment that is your personal take on me rather than what I have said about the issue…

SuperLib,

kinniku,
