Very good discussion, with some really interesting points . . . I wonder how much of the discussion on Twitter comes from inside Iran, and I don’t think there is any way to know for sure, but I do believe that SOME is . . . much more than in the past, and that, in and of itself, is progress. Now, whether that will help spark a revolution depends on how many people from inside Iran see the activism that is out there. Just my thoughts, anyway.
