Iranian students have disrupted a speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a prestigious Tehran university, setting fire to his picture and heckling him.
"Some students chanted radical slogans and inflamed the atmosphere of the meeting" at the Amir Kabir University, said the semi-official Fars news agency on Monday, which is close to Ahmadinejad.
"A small number of students shouted 'death to the dictator' and smashed cameras of state television but they were confronted by a bigger group of students in the hall chanting: 'We support Ahmadinejad'," it said.
It was the latest in a series of student demonstrations in recent days, the first time in least two years that such protests have taken place on this scale at Iranian universities.

Admittedly more than half of the comments take the side of the students, but only a little more than half.
Usual leftist myths are in evidence. (No, Dummies, Mossadegh was not overthrown, and the Shah installed, by the CIA. It was a BRITISH initiative, in which the Americans played a very minor role, and only went along with reluctantly after repeated entreaties from Churchill to Eisenhower.)
Good...the next step is pimp slapping him for demagoguery and blatant stupidity.

Applause! A great all-time read!
They also understand how closely they are coming under the scrutiny of the nuclear crosshairs.

I don't know what's going on over there, but it sounds like trouble in paradise.
Prayers and blessing for those students. Crazy dictators don't take kindly to anyone objecting to their policies...
BHAHAHAHA!!!
Thanks for the pings.
lol
Get ahold of Soupy Sales.
"My Brother, Stinky Dr. Mahmoud ..." is a a line I seem to recall from Heinlein's "Stranger In A Streange Land."
I read an article that some dissenter met him, and called him stinky, and he erupted in anger.
LOL
I guess the Emperor has no deodorant.
