TEHRAN, Iran — A day after Iranian students protested against hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, official response was muted Tuesday, but the country's independent press and students continued to criticize the president.
About 100 students participated in Monday's rare demonstration, chanting "Death to dictator" as Ahmadinejad gave a speech at Tehran University, prompting scuffles with hardline students, witnesses said.
The president faced a similar outburst during a speech in December when students at Amir Kabir Technical University called him a dictator and set fire to his picture.

Now if they could get a couple of millions to do the same... there might be hope. As it is, 100 students will probably rot in jail or be hanged.
wouldn’t it be wonderful if this was the beginning of a nation-wide uprising to overthrow Iran’s anti-American government with its sharia law. If there is anyway to give covert support to these brave men and women, I pray we are doing so.
