What's happening in Iran is exactly why the Founding Fathers inserted the 2nd Amendment into our Constitution. When a regime illegally tries to retain power, over the wishes of the people, then free citizens are obliged to take up arms and regain their freedoms. Which is why one of the first things all totalitarian regimes do when they take power is try to disarm the citizenry. Very much like Hussein is trying to do to free Americans as we speak.
Take away a people's ability to resist, and they can be controlled. It's been said many times, but it bear repeating: an armed man is a citizen, an unarmed man is a subject.
People in Iran seem to be getting the message; when will more Americans wake up to what Hussein is trying to do here?
Citizen or subject: which do you want to be? I'm an armed Citizen, and I'll be a dead Citizen before I'll be an unarmed subject.

An excellent cartoon about the elections has been posted over at Founding Bloggers.
