		<description><![CDATA[The people have not sat idly by, and in the past month a clear distinction has been made between the people on one-side, and the regime on the other.  The world has seen the people's aspirations for freedom, and their bravery in the face of terror and the tyranny of a false theocracy.  The world has also seen the last shred of legitimacy that the government of Iran may have held disappear to reveal what can be safely described as a government structured like a mafia that sees itself as God's representative on earth with the right to butcher its own people.  It can't be more clear than that.

The price has been paid in blood by the Iranian people.  And blood has been spilled across every facet of Iranian society.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What we are witnessing right now in the streets of Tehran is, first and foremost, a political battle for the future of the Iranian state. But closely linked to this political fight is also an old theological dispute about the nature of Shiism--a dispute that has been roiling Iran for more than a century.
