With all of the celebrity news the revolution in Iran has been disappearing from the headlines. Although there are many reasons to be discouraged for the forces aligned against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad it isn't over.
The claim of the ruling regime to legitimacy was supposedly based on divine guidance. They forfeited that legitimacy when they endorsed the results of an obviously fraudulent election. This movement against the regime represents the best opportunity to improve the lives of the people in Iran, avert a war over Iran's nuclear program, and improve the security situation across the Middle East by removing some of the support for extremism. If you want to follow the day to day events I suggest the blog AndrewSullivan.com for the latest videos, tweets, and other updates from the people of Iran. But first let's check out the latest videos: The first video is Jon Bon Jovi singing Stand By Me with a famous Iranian star. How are the Mullahs going to compete with Jon Bon Jovi? The second video is of security forces viciously beating down some bikes. You read that correctly: They are beating bikes. There aren't even riders on the bikes.
