Nico Pitney Discusses The Iran Crisis On Charlie Rose (VIDEO)

Nico Pitney, National Editor of The Huffington Post, has been covering the continuing crisis in Iran after the controversial presidential election on his extensive live-blog. Yesterday, President Obama called on Pitney during his press conference in order to answer a question directly from an Iranian. On Monday Pitney had asked on his live-blog what Iranians would like to ask President Obama if they had the chance.

Last night Pitney was a guest on Charlie Rose to discuss Obama's answer to his question as well the events unfolding in Iran as demonstrators continue to take to the streets despite a violent crackdown by the regime.

It has to be different this time! The Iranian people can and have the intelligence and the ability to continue with a nonviolent-nonresistance uprising. No I am not saying do what Gandhi did, I am saying do something BETTER & MORE EFFECTIVE than Gandhi did.

I continue to hold the Iranian people in the light, and know that these words belong to them at this point in history:

"There is no danger that dauntless courage cannot conquer; there is no trail that spotless purity cannot pass through; there is no difficulty that strong intellect cannot surmount. For those who win onwards... --the power to bless & save humanity."HPB
