Iran Violence - May It Continue...
Yes, as much as i dislike violence, i do hope the protests within Iran continue. Sky News have released a video (also available on YouTube) of a blooded teenage girl, who was caught up in the latest protests and tragically killed.
It is a very sad sight, but a famous political theorist named John Locke once stated that violence was justified in overthrowing a corrupt political regime, and i agree with him. It was actually his theories that led to the American Revolution, and truthfully, if the supporters of Mousavi use the same violence back, i cannot say i would look at their actions with distaste.
Of course, we then have to consider that overthrowing the President would be the least of Iran's concerns, but for what it's worth, i feel this is a situation where the ends justify the means, and violence justifies democracy.

it would make no difference whatever the result, the ayatollah would still rule, and leave whichever president in power as his puppet
