Much has been written about the ongoing events in Iran both here at Daily Kos and around the blogosphere. While the end result in very much in question given the recent "doubling down" by Supreme Leader Khamanei in his Friday prayer speech it is perhaps apropos to take a step back and learn some lessons from this recent uprising.
If you believe that a more democratic Middle East bodes well for the US and for humanity in general, I hope that you will make the jump below the fold and see how the Iranian experience can lead to broader, fundamental changes in the region.
