Take five minutes from your life to stop thinking about whatever it is you're planning on doing-- or about how you may be feeling bad-- and spread the word.

I'm infuriated by how little attention this has gotten and by how little anyone has said about it. For five minutes, read these links, watch these videos:

Change for Iran
Nations Asked not to Recognize Election Results

Take five damn minutes from your life and spread the word-- Iran's "president" has compared what is happening in Tehran right now to getting a parking ticket. He has compared the protesters with angry soccer fans.

Mobile service has been shut down in the country. The internet has been cut off. The government has called in Hezbollah to help quell the protests.

University students are being held hostage at their own university. The police are denying hospital care to protesters-- they "Deserve to Die."

Meanwhile, the international community doesn't care. The EU has recognized the government-- Obama's administration has refused to acknowledge the election results, at least.

Take time out of your day to wear green, something, anything, to show support for the people in Iran right now. Because they're living through something I very highly doubt any of us will ever have to live through.
