How would you feel?
Think the Iranians would feel any different when we do it to them?
"In tense Tehran, dueling rallies show fissures; Chants of death to US, dictator; Some brave batons, tear gas" by Robert F. Worth, New York Times | November 5, 2009
BEIRUT - Iran’s beleaguered opposition movement struggled to reassert itself on yesterday, as tens of thousands of protesters braved police beatings and clouds of tear gas on the sidelines of a major, government-sponsored anti-American rally.

And I'm tired of the selective, biased, agenda-pushing war propaganda.
Just posting it so you SEE WHAT WE GET for "news" here in the U.S.A.!
The protests - in Tehran and several other cities - were the opposition’s largest street showing in almost two months and came on the 30th anniversary of the takeover of the US Embassy in Iran, an event that was a crucible for both Iran and the United States.
Yeah, you KNOW WHY?
See: Operation Ajax
Strange how the Zionist AmeriKan MSM leaves that out, huh?
Although a huge force of police officers beat back and scattered many of them, the protesters took heart at their ability to openly challenge the government despite a stream of stark warnings from all levels of Iran’s conservative establishment.
You can TELL WHICH SIDE the MSM is on here, huh?
Yes, an APPROVED, AGENDA-PUSHING PROTEST.
Patriots protesting here in AmeriKa NEVER RECEIVE such favorable coverage!
Even some government authorities seemed to grudgingly concede that the opposition had - for the first time - disrupted the annual anti-American rally.
How would you feel if someone ruined your celebration?
The official IRNA news agency reported in midafternoon that “rioters,’’ many wearing the opposition’s signature green color, had gathered in front of its offices on Valiasr Street chanting “Death to the dictator’’ and other antigovernment slogans.
At the same time, a new theme emerged, with many protesters declaring their impatience with President Obama’s policy of dialogue with the Iranian government. Many could be heard chanting, “Obama, Obama - either you’re with them or you’re with us,’’ witnesses said.
So what does that mean? Please BOMB US?
Obama released his own statement on yesterday to mark the anniversary of the embassy takeover, repeating his appeals to move beyond the two countries’ mutual distrust. The statement expressed sympathy for Iran’s opposition movement and suggested that time was running out on a United Nations-backed plan aimed at averting a showdown over Iran’s nuclear ambitions....
You can't say he isn't telegraphing the upcoming attack.
Protesters openly flouted the day’s official anti-American message, with about 1,000 people gathering outside the Russian Embassy in Tehran and chanting, “The real den of spies is the Russian Embassy.’’
Pffft! Now I KNOW they are AmeriKan stooges!
The American Embassy has been called the “den of spies’’ in Iran for decades.
Because it is TRUE!
But many opposition supporters were angered by Russia’s early acceptance of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s disputed victory in Iran’s presidential election in June. On Tuesday, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, gave an angry speech accusing the United States of dictating the terms of the nuclear deal, and he suggested that Obama was no different from his predecessor....
Seriously, did he sound angry to you?
Don't you LOVE the NEVER-ENDING MSM DECEPTIONS?
Overall, the police appeared to have fought back protesters more aggressively than they did in September, when opposition supporters in much larger numbers virtually hijacked a state-sponsored rally known as Jerusalem Day.
I'm TIRED of the CHARGED WORD CHOICES, too!!!!
The protest turnout yesterday may also have been limited because it took place on a workday, unlike the Jerusalem Day protest.
But the LEAD IN said TENS of THOUSANDS rejuvenating the thing!
Starting early in the morning, the streets of central Tehran were lined with police officers and Basij militia members, witnesses said. In the subways, officers singled out people wearing green armbands, bracelets, or head scarves and ripped them off....
Yeah, good thing American security forces never do that at protests or anything.
