10:54 AM ET -- Rage against the machine. An Iranian-American writes: "In my spare time, I make short documentaries and music videos, and my 22 year old cousin in Iran asked that I make a video for him with his favorite song. I just spoke with him and he told me that his friends and him are watching it before they go out to protest. He was stepping out the door to protest when I spoke with him just a few minutes ago. A lot of Iranians from Iran rely on huffingtonpost.com for their information. If you could somehow post this on your website and get this out to the youth in Iran, it would mean a lot."

1. I would be very interested to hear what the members of Rage have to say about the situation in Iran

I have no doubt that they would support many of the protesters, but I suspect that they would also have some strong words condemning some of the people in the US (in particular the neo-cons) who seem to be rubbing their hands together hoping that they can use this as an excuse to go to war with Iran. I really don't know if Rage would like their song being used for this cause or not, it is a very complicated situation and while the protesters themselves are doing the right thing there are so many people who are trying to use these protests to push forth a very destructive agenda.
