So folks on Twitter have been turning their avatars (little profile photos) green to show solidarity with the protestors in Iran. There are websites to help you do this. But why do this? How does it help? I want the Iranian people to live in freedom, just as I want all people to live in freedom. But the point of the gesture eludes me, unless the point of the gesture is to be seen making the gesture by others who will credit you for it. Like so many political gestures, it is vanity dressed up as elevated moral consciousness. It doesn’t help

This echos what I said this morning. Obama isn’t going to make decisions based on how many green twitter avatars there are. Ayatollah Khomeini doesn’t give a shit. Who are you trying to influence here? To what end?
