It's morning in Tehran

Today may be a big day in Tehran. The Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has made it clear his patience with the protests has ended. The Iranian people are now looking to Mousavi for leadership: continue to take to the streets, risking a bloody crackdown, or back off?

It looks like protests are scheduled to begin at 4:30am PDT (4pm Saturday Tehran time).

Lots of good information at The Daily Dish and Informed Comment.

I think Obama is playing this well: in other words, not playing into the hands of the Supreme Leader and Ahmadinejad.

Today is day for solidarity of all freedom-loving people. Say a prayer, light a candle, or meditate for a peaceful and democratic outcome.

I've got green candles burning now in my window now.

Namaste!
