Iran Roundup

As I'm sure you know by now, the events of today were as follows: The student protests were cancelled because of threats of violence. Iranian student leaders were kidnapped. Despite the crackdown, there have been street fights between vigilantes who support the current regime and pro-democracy youths.

Here's a roundup of posts about the situation in Iran:

• Rev. Mike says: Brothers and Sisters, It's Time to Excise the Tumor. In the same post, he also has a timeline of events in Iran.
• Joel Fuhrmann has a roundup that includes this left-wing view of the Iranian pro-democracy movement.
• Jeff Jarvis' BuzzMachine has had continuing updates throughout the day.
• Michael Totten posts an open letter to the people of Iran. (First seen on BuzzMachine.)
• Winds of Change has a huge roundup of Iran-related posts: July 9 Carnival of the Liberties.
• Michele at A Small Victory also has a great roundup of posts and links.
• And finally, in today's Bleat, Lileks remembers an Iranian friend.

Update: Here's another good post I noticed: Joyful Christian has some interesting links about the theocratic government of Iran.
