    Lots of quiet in regards to the most important aspect of Obama second term. What a disaster. People running from the nuclear deal right now. Hussein just propped up terrorism around the world.

    I'm saddened that this is your first comment on what could go down as one of the most important events in the last 100 years in the name of world peace.

    The people revolting is clear. They are sick of Islamic rule. The removal of the hijab for many women is a direct action to support that. Its a shame that you or anyone could not see this. White/Liberal/Americans defend Islam more than the Iranians.

    PS, the clip above is not from Iran. Which tends to support my case, I think.

    Just know what I've read. I would never claim to be an expert on Iran but I know human nature and people yearn to be free and that's what we are seeing.

    Where is the picture from?

    Got duped by twitter on that photo. Doesn't change a thing. The people's sentiment is clear.
