When I watch the television riots in Iran several things come to mind.
1. No matter what complaints or problems I have with our government and political system I'm blessed to live here.
2. It's so important that we exercise or democratic right, because people are literally dying for theirs.
3. How lucky we are that we have technologies like twitter, face book, and youtube that allows us to relieve information that the Iranian government is attempting to contain.
4. Lastly, that Iran needs our thoughts, prayers and actions, whatever that means to you personally. Many americans strive to make sure we receive all the rights we deserve, even the most miniscule ones. As Americans we can empathize with there desire for political justice. This isn't a political problem, or an Iranian conflict, it's a human struggle for rights that everyone deserves.
Count your blessings, and pray for those who haven't received the same.
