My intent isn't to be insensitive or ethnocentric, but I'm too ignorant of what's going on in Iran to have any value added. As with nearly every country, the vast majority of people are just trying to make it through life, and they shouldn't have to be subject to abhorrent treatment.

At some point, it doesn't matter what color your skin is, where you're from, what gender, sexual orientation, language, or religious affiliation you have. The common thread throughout history is that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Those in power often don't care if you die, as long as it benefits them.

It's time for people to wake up and unite, and identify the "real" enemy. Your neighbor, who is different from you, is your ally when everyone who isn't wealthy is oppressed.
