Iran on Fire

Andrew Sullivan is doing the righteous thing, keeping track of the continuing student protests–and assorted government depredations–in Iran. The Khamenei-Ahmadinejad dictatorship has been killing prisoners, imprisoning and beating protesters, harassing its political enemies at an unprecedented rate. Given the government’s obvious unwillingness to negotiate with the United States or the rest of the world, I suspect it is now time for the President to start applying whatever pressure he can. It is certainly time to start screaming about this odious government’s human rights violations.
