POPSShe made it. This is the worst yet. 22 year old woman tells her story of what she endured after she was arrested by the Iranian regime following the demonstrations we all witnessed.You know, the ones where they BEGGED Obama for some back up and he responded by going golfing? Right--that's the one. Warning: this will break your heart :(

POPSWhy Libya and Why NOTHING when Iran needed help? This is the first thought I had when I heard they were going to start bombing now (waaaayt late of course, so many rebels have already died waiting for the Golfer in Chief to make a decision) Sickening..... Remember Neda? The prisons are still full of Iranians who tried their best to fight the horrendous theocracy in Iran....and Obama ATE ICE CREAM and did NOTHING.

POPSIran OKs Visas for Mothers of US Hikers Held in Tehran Iran's gitmo... Last week, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos interviewed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad about the hikers. "These three individuals entered our borders illegally. They have confessed to that. They crossed our border," Ahmadinejad responded. "Now, they're being handled by our judicial system, and the judicial system will review their crimes according to the law. We have laws. There's a due process of law that is being observed. "The judicial system in Iran is independent of political influence," he said. "It's under the influence of judicial laws." In his next breath, Ahmadinejad brought up seven Iranians he says are being held in American prisons without access to lawyers or their families. He has suggested in the past that Iran would release the hikers if the United States releases its Iranian prisoners.

POPSThreatened with Nukes, Iran Unhappy
Iran must not have gotten the U.S./Israel Nuclear Memo: The fact that we have nukes pointed at them and threaten them with nuclear attack every week is NOT the problem. The Propaganda Memo makes is clear: Our fabricated made-up claims that they will have nuke weapons in five years is the problem: So we should nuke 'em now. Our Big Lie is beginning to sound a bit shrill, I think. The USA is the only nation to have used nukes....then we've gone around the world since then invading foreign countries, killing millions, all based on BS lies. Lead hundreds of old men, woman and children into a ditch in My Lai and murder them - no accountability (one guy 4-months house arrest). Torture and beat people to death in our war camp prisons -- only a couple of low ranking soldiers go to jail, not the designers of the torture labs or the one's who gave the orders. Obeying orders, in fact, now clearly a defense for anything....For Us...but not for others. We full of @#$@,

POPSTime To Man Up, Barry
The sentence for Kian Tajbakhsh was the longest prison term yet in a mass trial of more than 100 opposition figures, activists and journalists in the post election turmoil. The longest sentence so far, yet news accounts offer no explanation as to what Mr. Tajbakhsh did to deserve arrest, let alone a 12 year sentence. Apparently he was arrested at his home, not at a demonstration. News of his sentence was coupled with reports of lenient treatment given to a Canadian citizen: At the same time, Iran allowed another defendant to leave the country--Canadian-Iranian Maziar Bahari, a Newsweek journalist arrested in the same crackdown who had been freed on bail over the weekend. Bahari joined his British wife, who is in the last days of her pregnancy, in London, Newsweek said on its Web site Tuesday. It could be a coincidence. But news accounts certainly raise a question whether the mullahs are publicly sticking their finger in the Obama administration's eye, letting a Canadian go . .

POPSAhmadinejad Speaks at U.N.
This is a reasonable summary of the Iranian president's speech. Surprises? He says he wants to see the elimination of all WMD's -- and this would be a surprise if you believe propaganda that he wants nuke weapons and turn a blind eye to the fact that Israel has WMD's. 2. He doesn't want to drive Israel into the sea (more false propaganda). He wants a two-state solution. 3. He thinks the slow starvation of a million and a half people in the Gaza Strip is genocide. (This led to the walkout of many). 4. He doesn't deny the Holocaust (never has) but continues to annoy Zionist by asking why this is a topic of special concern to Arabs and Iran, pointing out there have been other great massacres and genocides and that 60 million were killed in WWII and he's sorry about all of that. 5. He thinks of U.S. actions in Iraq and Iran as invasions, doesn't like them and says there are still secret prisons, Gitmo, and bad deeds going on. (All true). 6. We need spiritual values. Too m
