>>It is against the law to hold a public gathering in Iran without prior permission.<<

It is in the US too. But we spell permission "permit".

>>Demonstrations such as the one held today are expected by the regime and they put up with them to a point. <<

Are you talking about the WTS marches in Seattle. I was there. It was incredible.

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?
