-via report from an Iranian
"Clashes with the Islamic Regimes thugs are taking place across Iran on this day which celebrates an ancient Persian celebration of Chaharshanbe Soori. The people of Iran, despite the Islamic Regimes efforts to eradicate Iranian celebrations, have taken to the streets in the masses to take part in this great celebration.
Sounds of firecrackers are heard throughout Iran.
In Tehran a large crowd is moving towards "Rajaei Shahr Prison".

The power of some fireworks have crushed the windows of shops and government buildings in the vicinity.
Fires are lit in the streets.
Cars are being put on fire

Hundreds of people have been arrested but hundreds of thousands of Iranians have demonstrated tonight that they are willing to stand up to oppression by all means and they shall continue their demonstrations, against the anti-Iranian Islamic Regime, throughout cities across Iran!

Ledeen's Book Review, & The Sex Slave Trade / Appeasement.
Michael Ledeen gives us a thoughtful and accurate review/assessment of two recently published Iran-related books.
Summing up the "Persian Puzzle" by Kenneth Pollack, Mr. Ledeen states:
"So for all its detail and its imposing documentation, The Persian Puzzle doesn't get us very far, either in understanding the fanatical beliefs that drive the Iranian tyrants, or in devising a policy that might yet liberate Iran, and enable a new generation, by all accounts free of religious madness and devoted to Western values, to assume its rightful control of its destiny."
And regarding David Harris' new book about the Iranian crisis entitled "The President, the Prophet, and the Shah - 1979 and the Coming of Militant Islam" Mr. Ledeen comments:
"So, not a great book, and certainly not an important book, but it's fun, and it well captures the moment."

In other news, not only are the EU and some American politicians and "thinkers" giving the Mullahs more time to perpetuate turbulance, instability and violence throughout the Middle East through their appeasement and daily offerings of carrots and dip to the Islamic Regime, but these appeasers are also turning a blind eye and indirectly aiding the criminals who abduct, sell, rape and abuse young Iranian girls day in and day out!
