I could write 3 or 4 hundred words about how technology and Social Media are making it impossible for despots to control the message&#8230; or I could just point you to the<a href="http://justsignal.com/freeiran"> justSignal FreeIran site</a> and get out of the way and let Peter Himmelman (who I&#8217;m proud to know) use his art to say just about everything that needs to be said.</p>
