Oh what a world we live in...

I'm sure we've all heard of the atrocities on going in Iran. The Iranian government has forced all international news groups to leave the nation. The government thought that it would be a way to keep the protests ongoing silent and within closed doors. They thought wrong.

Iran has the largest community of bloggers in the world. Also, once the Taliban came in, everyone in the nation was given an education. This means that almost every citizen in Iran is literate. This means that they are smart people, they know what is going on and they want an end to it. Many are saying that the presidential election Iran was rigged. A part of me agrees with them, but who am I to say anything about that? I am not a citizen of Iran at all. In fact, I am a teenage girl witnessing these atrocities on the Internet. What does this mean? It means that if the people of Iran are posting the happenings on YouTube[TM] or on Twitter[TM] it means that they are using their voice. Kudos to them for a world wide protest against their government.

What they are doing is something that I find to be very insightful. But, why? Mainly because of their bravery of bringing in a camera to film everything that is ongoing to keep the world in tune with them, to let the world know how terrible things are there. I find that insightful. What I find honorable is that the citizens of Iran are risking life and limb every time they step out their doors for a protest. They risk being shot or beat by the Iranian police. All of these can be seen on the Internet. The citizens are tweeting, they are posting videos on YouTube. It's a viral world now. Getting information from one person to another is faster and easier. Iran is using their voice. They are asking the world for help. And world, I think it's high time that we give them the help that they need.
