It has often been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case these few pictures speak volumes about the ruthless Iranian regime and its henchmen. There can be no better indictment of the current power structure than the attached and in particular when the gruesome circumstances are kept in mind. This poor innocent girl was standing by watching a demonstration when she was shot literally in the heart by a Basij sharpshooter from a roof top. Enough said. What the world is witnessing is nothing short of a revolution that is devouring its own children and that has no respect for human rights , democracy or the dissent. The challenge is to be able to watch these 40 seconds without crying.

Horrible. It shows that this regime wants to survive at all costs. The question is whether the opposition will reach a critical mass--as it did in Romania, and other Eastern bloc countries--or it will be put down by bloody means as in the Tienanmen Square (20 years ago).
I hope that technology available today can bring down those tyrrants by showing people their brutality.
Oh, no, this girld died. You can see her eyes rolled over and the blood coming out of the nose & mouth. She was probably shot in the chest.
This makes you wonder why kind of people would choose to kill someone who's expressing their political views....
Shame...
Do you think such events may bring any change soon to Iran? I personally doubt it, but I hope I'm wrong.
George, I am afraid that the final outcome will be similar to Tianamen Square. It must be since the Mullahs cannot possibly admit that their interpretations of what things should be are flawed. They are afterall the true representatives of the great designer. Theocracies have always posed the most danger to civil society.
