Good Article

I really appreciated this article's subject. It was an article discussing the protests that have been going on in Iran since the elections this summer. Recently, most articles in the paper about Iran solely mention their nuclear plans and it seems as though everyone has forgotten how illegitimate the Iranian government of today is. Thankfully, this article discussed how the usual Nov. 4th anti-American rallies may be taken over by anti-government rallies from the green movement.

Although the article's subject was great and probably very difficult to receive seeing as any information from Iran about opposition movements is difficult to come by from a credible source, the writing was a little weak. For example, the lead wasn't until the third paragraph and a lot of the information was broad. For example, "Thousands of reformist figures were arrested in the unrest that followed the election, and many remain in jail." I for one would appreciate some harder numbers. However, the subject out-weighed the writing in this case, still making this a solid article.
