Andrew Sullivan’s blog

/ 19 June 2009

I read Andrew Sullivan’s blog at the Atlantic all the time, but his coverage the last few days of the events unfolding in Iran has been stellar. Today he’s linked to this stunning word cloud/image of tweets about the events, created by Jeff Clark:

He also writes this morning:

I fear deeply what is about to happen. But I also sense that the Gandhi-strategy of the majority is a winning one. If they can sustain their numbers and withstand the nightly raids, and if they can overwhelm the capital tomorrow in another peaceful show of strength, then they can win. And the world will change. This is their struggle now, requiring the kind of courage that only God can provide. Their God, my God, the God of the Torah and the Koran and the Gospels.

I join him in that belief, and I pray for peace, justice, love, mercy...
