Today's "Winds of War (Iran)" is brought to you by M. Simon, a frequent guest blogger here at Winds of Change.NET. Because the incoming format was slightly different, we've divided the report into independent sections (Wider War | Iraq | Roadmap | Iran).
In Iran in toto as in some sections of the American body politic what you do in the privacy of your own home is not just your business, it is the government's business as well. Hoder talks about the prospect of net censorship in Iran.
Samidzata then prints a white-hot rant from an Iranian blogger. It was covered in a short note at Winds of Change but deserves some more attention:
I am tired of all the bullshit I spent the last 20 YEARS with.
I am tired of this regime.
I am tired of the stupid mullahs who belong to thousands of years ago.
I am tired of Ali Khamenei the one handed and his regime.
I am tired of all these bearded bastards.
I am tired of this country I live in.
I can't stand it anymore. It's over.
What else is going to happen?
You wake up and find all your favorite web pages banned.
What else is remaining for me?
There is more. Here's the direct link.
A commemoration of student demonstrations four years ago that almost overthrew the Islamic Government of Iran will be held on July 9th of this year in Iran. Write your Congress critters today and tell them that we should be ready in advance to support the students.
Speaking of writing, the New York Times ran an op-ed by a shill for the current mullocracy, without identifying them as such. An Iranian student group doesn't like this one bit. Add to the Time's grief. Use the e-mail addresses provided to give them an earful.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
