Iranians Rally For Freedom

It has been amazing to watch the Iranian people demonstrate the last few days in massive numbers. Standing up as one against their oppressive regime. As I write this many of these protesters are being beaten, gassed, and shot by the various police forces. It saddens me to see people be bludgeoned so violently for just voicing their yearnings for simple human freedoms. Freedoms we take for granted here in the U.S.
It makes you realize how fortunate we are to be enjoying the freedoms we have. It brings to the forefront of our consciousness how important liberty truly is. More importantly how difficult it is to achieve. I only hope that we don't let those freedoms slip through our fingers to the hands of an ever expanding government.
Regardless, my prayers and thoughts today go out the Iranians who are struggling to earn their freedom. May they succeed in their struggle.
