Iran election

I've found it fascinating to watch the #iranelection feed on twitter and the news surrounding the protests. If you're not familiar with the situation there, I'll try to summarize:

Basically there was an election for president of Iran, and the incumbent guy won by a 2-1 margin. That's all well and good except for some serious oddities in the counting, such as the fact that more than 100% of the registered voters cast ballots. This guy is backed by the Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme ruler, and their political system essentially amounts to a dictatorship that rigged the election. They're also controlling all of the country's press and shutting down access to internet sites with real news.

So thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of people in Iran have been emboldened to protest, which is incredible considering their culture and the supreme authority that they normally give their religious leaders. A revolution is underway, and freedom has a decent chance to win.

What intrigues me is how the everyday American has an opportunity to help - by setting up proxy servers in America to bypass the Iranian government's filters, by pretending to be from Tehran along with millions of others to help conceal real Iranians who are being tracked down, and by encouraging the protesters via internet. The power of the regime is in the control of information (as well as brute force, naturally) so helping them get good information can make the difference in whether or not the revolution succeeds. Iran is about twice the size of Texas. It would be nice if some private citizen could print up a million leaflets and drop them all over the country from some airplane. That way the government could remain out of it (necessary for political reasons), yet people in the outlying regions of Iran would know that a revolution is underway and could join the resistance.
