1. If these men live in America, how do they have so much insight into the revolutions in Iran? Assuming that their knowledge goes beyond what they hear on the news. Especially if Internet access is being limited. What is the controversy surrounding last summer's election? What happened in the Islamic Revolution? What exactly is a theocracy? Why is internet access being restricted and what are people doing to get around it (if anything)? is the Iranian government doing anything about the comic?
2. Hungarian Revolution- protests slammed by the government. China earlier this year- limitation on the Internet. Animal Farm- similar to the comic by using writing and art to express opinions on what's going on in the world without saying it out right. Hungarian reporters telling outsiders their stories- the comic comes from America, not Iran so that the whole world can know whats going on.
3. I feel like a revolution so harsh should have been given more space on the page. The article provides little background information on what's going on and only a small paragraph on the actual protests. If the world is really to be told about what's going on, then there should be more information. Now I feel confused as to why the government is cracking down so hard on the student protesters and why they would cut down Internet use. Without help from the article, I am left to assume that it is just because the government is scared of losing control, which would actually make a lot of sense...
