Political Rant
Regarding protests in Iran, I was quite shocked by some of the videos and images that had appeared at work (news agency) about the protests, seems there is alot of negativity and just a small spark of positive democracy.
I don't think anyone could argue that there isn't alot of people there looking for change and looking to engage with the west. People who also want to be recognised and accepted and respected by the rest of the world as a whole.
I just think it's sad that there are some, trying stamp it out in such a heavy handed way, trying to brush under the carpet the views of almost half the entire country (if not more..). These same individuals will use this chance to blaim outside influences driving a greater divide between Iran and the West just alienating themselves more.
Will be an interesting one to watch, it could have been such a great step forward for them to be able to engage with the rest of the world again, I guess it will be another four year wait.
