Roger L. Simon thinks that bloggers can make a difference in Iran. I don't know if that's true, but it's certainly worth my two sentences worth.
Good things do seem to be expedited via the blogosphere lately. The troop-trasher at CNN, Eason Jordan, "resigned" rather abruptly last week in the midst of a blog swarm. MSM saw to it that those destructive bloggers immediately became the story, rather than Jordan's inexcusable slander against our soldiers. His accusations of journalists killed and tortured by U.S. troops remains unexplored, except on the blogs--which are relentless on the subject. Oh yes, we were an electronic lynch mob out for blood, sitting around in our bathrobes tearing poor, defenseless Eason to shreds. The Wall Street Journal even called the bloggers "salivating morons." Never mind what Eason actually said, it's "the price" he paid that has MSM's knickers in a twist.
Ah, yes, the price. The cost of accountability is truth. Some journalists find that too steep a tab to consider paying. Why else would the video of Jordan's infamous remarks remain unreleased?
Now, a premier blogger asks members of the blogosphere to channel their collective energy in a quest to rally public support, domestically and internationally, for regime change in Iran. Some blogs have already started. More will take up the call, and who knows? After Trent Lott and Jayson Blair, after Dan Rather and Eason Jordon, it's not so incredible to believe that maybe blogs can make a positive difference in Iran.
It's worth a try.
