IRANIAN PROTESTERS ARE EMAILING THE BBC WITH REQUESTS FOR AMERICAN HELP:

The Iranian people have shown their urgent tendency for freedom. Now the US must start to support the demonstration by warning the Iran government not to act against the people. This enforcement from the outside and people’s demonstration inside, will finally down the Iran regime. We are waiting for immediate support of the US.

Of course, some people aren’t with the program:

I absolutely reject the concept of “democracy” and “freedom” as nakedly false phantoms of the west. Who would ever want to be “free” when they could instead live in the glorious order and sanctified grace of Sharia? Why does anyone need to have an opinion for himself?

Or are they?

UPDATE: Unfogged notices that the BBC doesn’t seem to understand sarcasm.
