What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

The plan is to get Ahmadinejad out of office and get a real theocrat in there, or at least someone who doesn't pretend to be somewhat moderate. The "black robes" have had enough.

Alaeddin Broujerdi, head of the parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy - diplomatic in the extreme or a bit of a comedian?
"The rationing could have been implemented in a better way," he was quoted as saying

38 cents a gallon is the best deal in town, even with rations.

Problem is, he is the conservative the "black robes" picked to replace the previous moderate they did not like.

Not quite conservative enough. Plus he looks like a university professor. In a country where more than half the population is under 25 years old the conservatism of the "black robes" is going to be hard to maintain.

maybe the Helicopters that Iran sent into Iraq with troops weren't really there to attack our soldiers, they just needed to top off their tanks...

I sincerely hope that the poeple of Iran continue to see the problems with Ahmadinejad and that he is merely exploiting them for her own political and power gains.

According to the latest reports, during last night's demonstrations in Iran, and the ensuing conflicts with the Iranian regime's security forces, the Iranian people and youths set ablaze many government building, security forces' vehicles, and as many as 50 gas stations at various locations in Tehran.
Demonstrators shouted anti-government slogans such as "Guns, tanks, fireworks; Ahmadinejad must be killed," according to Reuters news agency from Tehran.
The protests and demonstrations continued into the morning hours in many areas of the capital, including Azadi, Saharvardi, Piroozi, Imam Hossein, and Tehran-No streets.
To crackdown on the protests and prevent them from spreading into other areas, the regime dispatched its suppressive forces, including the Revolutionary Guards, the Bassij paramilitary force, State Security Forces, and intelligence agents into the streets. As a result, scores of people were arrested and/or injured. A few of the wounded are in critical condition.
In a number of areas, youths confronted the anti-riot units of the State Security Forces by rocks and sticks causing them to retreat.
In addition to the protests in Tehran following last night's government announcement regarding the fuel rationing deadline, people in the provinces of Isfahan, Mazandaran, Golestan as well as East and West Azarbaijan, took part in similar demonstrations. Youths in these regions destroyed many gas stations and vehicles belonging to the regime's suppressive forces.
