The Revolution Will Not Be Blogged: Iran Cracks Down on Blog Protests

Interesting:

Six online journalists and webloggers have been arrested in Iran recently in a crackdown on dissent on the internet. "People charged for having illegal internet sites... will be put on trial soon," said a judiciary spokesman.

The trials would be "open" and charges included "acting against national security, disturbing the public mind and insulting sanctities".

Web journals flourish in Iran where the youthful, reform-hungry population has gone online for news and entertainment.

Hmmmm... sounds like Iran is pretty much like the US in that respect.

Thanks a lot to Bohemian Conservative, who rounds up real political oppression being committed by the dictators Hollywood either isn't interested in or actively supports.

'Human rights' and 'democracy' are alien and frightening concepts to backward middle-eastern types.

We shouldn't impose our sense of 'justice' and 'freedom' on a foreign culture, which is much older than ours. It has its own distinct heritage (of abusing women, genocide, and dictatorial tyranny) and we shouldn't be messing with it all willy-nilly.

Because remember, we are bad and wrong. We're democratic capitalists, for crying out loud! Imagine if THAT shit broke out all over the world. Like a fucking epidemic, I tell you!!

Reporters without borders has opened an mailbox at internet.persan@rsf.org for people to send messages of support.

I advised several Iranian bloggers in the comments but none of them advised their readers by putting it in a post. I put it in a post but then I'm just a pro-Bush lackey.
