Nature and The Nation

Nature Magazine on why world scientists should support the Iranian protests.

And The Nation on how widespread the pro-opposition protests have been.

A lot of the MSM seems to buy the regime's line that the movement is limited to North Tehran, despite scenes of mass protests drawing people from all walks of life all over the country. One of the videos I saw was nothing but miles and miles of South Tehran, that reported Ahmadinejad stronghold, lined with people holding pro-Mousavi posters, of anti-government graffiti and burning tires. I cannot find it now. It was shot by an old woman riding in a car, and as she videos she says over over in Farsi, "Bravo for the youth, bravo for the youth."
