It is being reported on command post and elsewhere that there ahve been recent uprisings in both Syria and Iran, apparently inspired by the American libervasion of Iraq.

This Command Post, er, post talks about the 14 Syrian Kurds who were killed in rioting and clashes with Baathist security forces. The Free Arab Forum is reporting that there is a small but violent uprising in northern Iran, where demonstrators apparently took over the local security force headquarters.

These events are not being reported in any of the mainstream media. Over the last couple years, I can count on one hand the number of stories I've seen on the Democracy movement in Iran. This is important news, and we should be hearing more of it.
