"we are not living in the middle ages"

I am not the only voice that should be heard. From my Twitter feed, from Radio Free Europe: a Radio Farda listener response:

"We are not living in the Middle Ages -- no government can suppress its people today, by humiliating them, beating them, arresting them and killing them. If any government can still get away with all this, then what is the role of the international community and what would be the difference between today and 1,500
years ago?. Now Iranians have shown the world that they don't want a bunch of evil and corrupt leaders to rule them, what more could they do, as they have no help? The world has to support them."

I do not want to be guilty of doing nothing about this.
