I think this is what Thomas Jefferson meant by
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants
Apparently Iranian Revolutionaries have struck directly at the heart of the Basiji thugs in Teheran. Follow below the fold for details and video.
I knew it would not be long before this thing became a full scale blood confrontation. I think critical mass may have been hit, or at least exacerbated at the filmed death of Neda. Some on Twitter are calling that the "shot heard round the world", and I'm sure it helped embolden those who attacked the Basiji headquarters in Teheran.
From the Youtube poster:
Natural gas lines of Basij Head quarter was set on fire after Basijie's locked themselves inside. At 0:05 you can see the whole building exploded at least 5 from Basijies were killed
you can see fire in different parts of city
location : Eastern Tehran
It's pretty clear there is no turning back now. I feel kind of helpless in a way, I wish I could do something more substantive than write about it. Guess I'll have to be content with helping to spread the word.
