Brave college students may be the leaders of reform in Iran.
The police and military are human beings and shooting college kids is a whole lot different than shooting regular adults.

They are the reformists. I hope they succeed. The alternatives are extremely bad.

Later Mr Ahmadinejad put a brave face on it saying the protest showed there was freedom of speech in Iran compared to his student days under the Shah. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's student days:

Mr Mehdi has twice been arrested and still has court cases pending against him. Shades of The Grand Inquisitor.

"Pictures shot on a mobile phone showed angry students chanting against the president, accusing him of being a fascist and a puppet of the hardliners.
They held portraits of Mr Ahmadinejad upside down to mock him and then set them on fire.
The day before the president visited, the university was in turmoil with students shouting "Death to the dictator."
I wouldn't be surprised if the tyrant already has a dossier on each one of them.

Freedom of speech in Iran? What's that?

When will we start sending these revolutionaries IEDs? Reciprocity is a beech, is it not?

AND hope that the traitorous NYT wouldn't find out about it either.

If we were in Iran helping the students overthrow the government, and the Dems find out about, they would cry treason. But of course, a former President, or a Senator being in bed with the leader of a hostile nation wouldn't be a problem. Nahh
Nothing to see here, move along.

And the CIA's and NSA's computer enhancement technology has verified that is who that is in the picture. But! Do you once think the MSM and the politico's have made that the least bit obvious?

Hmmmm ... Just a thought ... Do you think Jon Carry knows about this and it is the reason he wanted to get to Iran?

By IEDs I hope you mean "Irradiation Explosive Devices".

President Bush showed just how weak he is when this man was allowed into New York without having U.S. Marshalls arrest him on arrival for kidnapping on U.S. soil (the American embassy in Iran).
If YOU kidnapped someone in the U.S. in 1979, and authorities became aware of it today, you would be arrested on the spot.
To: Biscuit85
Yeah, there's freedom of speech in Iran. It does seem to go hand in hand, however, with a tendency to bleed heavily:

The Iranian President will pair them down, and they WILL be forced to go into hiding.
To: Biscuit85
This should hardly be a surprise as Iran is a police state.

Don't need to read it, sort of figured it out.
