POPSThe Latest From Iran What should President Obama do about Iran? He can do what he does best: Talk. He should roll out the TOTUS and give the Iranian mullahs and moguls an old-fashioned spanking. Complete with direct quotes from the Koran. Alas, this will not happen. Dr. Charles Krauthammer this week said of President Obama: “All hangs in the balance. The Khamenei regime is deciding whether to do a Tiananmen. And what side is the Obama administration taking? None.” Ouch. I feel the pain not for the target of Dr. Krauthammer’s words, but for the rest of us. 53% of the nation gave 100% of the world a leader of the free world someone who, when danger comes, dares to vote " present. Such a timorous approach to adversity is decidedly James Buchanan-like, as opposed to Harry Trumanesque or John Kennedyesque. There is much intelligence in not taking unnecessary risks. There is greater ignorance in trying to avoid all risks at all times.

POPSLive-Tweeting The Revolution Just heard from an eye witness in Tehran: last night 12 people shot to death had been brought to Rasul_Akram hospital, with dozens wounded. i used to use twitter to follow my favorite tech bloggers... good old days :( EVERYONE everywhere set yourLOCATION to TEHRAN! Confuse them.They can't follow everyone! We gather to stand in and in solidarity with the people of Iran. No political factions!!! No flags!! (from any country) TELL YOUR FRIENDS!! I was proud to cast my 1st vote as a US citizen this year, but I am dissapointed at how other govs are acting it was heart warming to see protestors helping iranian police that were injured and hurt. never lose your true cause, integrity,principle! people saying that army is split. people talking of coup. unconfirmed. we need army on our side. ppl (protesters against coup) are on strike, with black clothes today. mourning for what is happening in Iran.

POPS IRAN ON FIRE Michael Totten (Continuously updated) Andrew Sullivan writes: "The last time a news event gave me chills like this was the Soviet coup. It ended the regime." Yes, it did. You know what this reminds me of? The convulsion that shook Ramadi, the capital of Anbar Province, Iraq. Hundreds of insurrection photos are uploaded right here on Twitter. Protests in Tehran, London, Sydney . . . . http://www.flickr.com/photos/mousavi1388/

POPSMilitary Recruiters to Capitalize on Air Show, 'Senior Week' odoco I hope that members of the Iraq Veterans Against the War show up and do a bit of 'recruiting' of their own at this event. The ultimate question is this: "If you enlist, what are you really fighting for? Who are you really serving? Who really profits from your service?" American empire / Wealthy elite who rarely serve themselves / Corporate interests. I am a veteran, but I firmly believe the US military has become so corrupted and controlled by corporate interests that it no longer serves a true national security purpose - unless you believe that the 'national interests' and 'empire building' are one and the same. me :fuckin' vultures...no truth in their advertising!
