>>They demonstrate that the Mullahs believe they are so secure in their dictatorship that the demos are meaningless.<<
Sounds like the demonstrations in the US as well.
That's right. My mistake. Iran is JUST like the U.S.
Thanks for making that point.
Obviously you don't know anyone who has been arrested and jailed in Iran or you wouldn't be making light of the situation there.
I noticed you left out the part I said about the regime using helicopter gunships for crowd control. Being shot at from the air is an effective deterrent to anyone thinking of protesting again, don't you think?
And how about 10 or 12 yr olds sentenced to be whipped 30 or 40 times for attending coed birthday party? That's just like here too, huh?

That is what you call a straw man. You attacked him pretty well though. ;)
"That is what you call a straw man."
No. That is what you call sarcasm.
