"You better take care of the problems in your own country" sounds like a threat, but I'm wondering if you mean it that way, since you blog in German. Literally translated into German, it would not be a threat.

Calling people who disagree with you animals is not exactly going to lend credence to or even gain empathy for your opinions in the eyes of other readers.

many of us see serious problems in our own countries which need attention, and we wish for our problems and Iran's to be solved in a democratic intelligent manner, each by its own people without outside interference and with respect for the diverse views within each country. Many of the bloggers who have posted have done so without being in support of any particular party, this needs to be made very clear. If the Iranian people choose a government, regardless of what their policies may be it is the right of the Iranians to do so and I'm confident that most people would respect that right. America had George Bush, then his party lost the election, whether people like the current government is a personal issue but that is the elected government. And if they stuff it, well maybe the people will vote them out. May all people be happy, all children well fed and the diversity of differences be respected in a manner that is respectful to human beings, with wisdom, compassion and understanding.

Exclude Iran. Iran is not miserable and you better take care of the problems in your own country.

Irani government arrested Irani national people. They were not UK national so nobody needs to worry about that because it’s their internal matter and they must have some proof against them.

US and Western have the only one power that’s control over media game. That game is being played for Iran now and they dream to do with Iran what they did with Iraq. Just to tell you that in 1870s, George Washington was declared the world no. 1 terrorist by the UK government and after few years, he became the president of US… a great example of double policy.

By the way, anyone who thinks US did right in Iraq and Afghanistan and Israel did right in Gaza then he/she is animal, not human.

Bloggers don’t need to blog about Iran. Better get back to the problems of your own country and don’t interfere in others internal matters.

"No nation or coalition of nations is proposing anything other than that the democracy promised by this brutal theocratic regime be actually delivered to the Iranian people"

Promise! Their constitution" states:The Supreme Leader of Iran is responsible for delineation and supervision of the general policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran.[121] The Supreme Leader is Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces, controls the military intelligence and security operations; and has sole power to declare war or peace.[121] The heads of the judiciary, state radio and television networks, the commanders of the police and military forces and six of the twelve members of the Council of Guardians are appointed by the Supreme Leader.[121] The Assembly of Experts elects and dismisses the Supreme Leader on the basis of qualifications and popular esteem.[122] The Assembly of Experts is responsible for supervising the Supreme Leader in the performance of legal duties."

BUT tt its constitution doesn't support a democracy, never did, so did American's just wake up?????? For Iran to be free there has to be a total revolution and that won't happen unless a majority of Iranians support full overthrow of their current government and it's constitution.

I am sure you have seen this problem before, but I am having a hard
time getting my blog:
http://tamilfilmgalleries.blogspot.com/
to be indexed by Google or GoogleBlog.

I have joined Google Analytics to see my traffic (which is pretty
decent considering the non-ability to search for the site).

I have joined Google Webmaster Tools and uploaded Sitemaps as needed.
I also ping Google as needed (when I update my content).

I have also joined lots of organizations like Technocrati and ping
with them as I update my site.

I have also listed (and seen others) list my site in relevant forums.

So what am I doing wrong? Any advice would be very much appreciated!

When you say free Iran what do you mean exactly?
I mean sure we all support human rights etc, and the right for citizens to speak out, but are we calling for and supporting a revolution that will depose a theocratic controlled government, or just the more moderate sanctioned losing candidate who will continue to work within their control?

@sohahm
IMHO the only stupidity I have witnessed has come from a minority of paranoid people who parrot what you have presented in this thread. No nation or coalition of nations is proposing anything other than that the democracy promised by this brutal theocratic regime be actually delivered to the Iranian people. The regimes choice was lie and to defraud the population and that IMHO was a stupid choice. It has led to suffering and death and is bound to lead to even more of the same.

This has happened after US and Western media started to interfere in Iran elections. And still it’s quite normal in the current situation and pressure on Iran government.

US want to have a US puppy as the president of Iran who says yes for all their wishes just like in Pakistan and other stupid countries.

What the problem with you about Iran? Because he don't accept US wishes? Because he don't let USA to enter there and spread the porn, interest and Dollar?

Iran is already free and nobody needs to bother about that.

I want to see a free Iran. thanks to BloggersUnite for such a noble effort. I have posted an article aiming at freeing the Iranians from their current situation.

But first of all, I’d like to beg the forgiveness to the people of Iran and to Neda Agha Soltan for being ignorant for so long. For not keeping my eyes open for what is happening around me. How could I be so self centered?

You can find the post here: http://lifeasiknowit22.blogspot.com/2009/06/bloggers-unite-for-free-iran.html i've submitted this post to bloggers unite (waiting moderators approval at this moment)

Are you trying to flip the viewpoint? As in what would happen if the rest of the world started a huge Twitter campaign to get rid of our president?

I wish they did just that during the Bush administration. In fact, I wish Americans were more aware and active in protesting Bush while he was in office.

flamingpoodle on 'Bloggers Unite to Free Iran '

Out of curiosity, how would you feel if someone started a huge Twitter campaign to free America from Obama?

Interesting discussion going on here. I am not really updated with world news but the thing that really triggered my feelings was the Neda incident. I think that sort of broken the floodgates. Now I am reading.And yes reading through this thread which was a task LOL.

@TonyB
I'm not hearing the war mongering going on. Ive been listening and reading to many different media outlets and to date haven't heard one single person say that the US should attack Iran. What you are saying is false.

Hello! My comment above was not about what you are hearing on the media. My comment was about the two comments I received on my Bloggers Unite posts (1 on each blog post from 2 different email addresses).

Read it what I said again please. I said:

"I received invade Iran comments on my bloggerunite posts that I marked as spam. There's no way I will ever post that war mongering and hatred on my blogs -- not now -- not ever."

Stillthinking on 'Bloggers Unite to Free Iran '

Stillthinking — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 20:51:21 -0500

The GOP posturing is all just a deliberate manipulation of the public from the more pressing issue in the US: health care reform.

Also, I never said that the GOP is calling for an invasion. I said they are doing a lot of political posturing. My comment to Holly was meant facetiously because she accused the government of being hypocritical in supporting the protesters verbally, but then not following through with action. By extension, she was accusing all of us who support the stance the president has taken (like myself) of being hypocritical and cold-hearted.

I don't make stuff up. Go back up and read the thread before you think you got me.

jeremyjanson on 'Bloggers Unite to Free Iran '

jeremyjanson — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 17:41:37 -0500

@stillthinking - No, they are definitely calling Barack soft but they have not called for an invasion so much as slightly more toothy diplomacy.

@TonyB - Good, my estimation of human intelligence has slightly increased.

No one did in this thread but there sure as heck are those who are war mongering.
