Many Iranian youths rallied in streets across the country, shouting "Death to Ahmadinejad," in celebrations marking the end of the Persian calendar year.

The last Wednesday of the Persian calendar is celebrated as the Fire Festival in Iran, with bonfires and firecrackers marking the occasion.

In the western city of Ahvaz, angry mobs declared "Freedom is our legitimate right" while demonstrators in the western city of Sanandaj shouted "Death to (Iranian President Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad," Ynetnews reported Wednesday.

Let's hope this is the start of something big.

"Death to Ahmadinejad"

Sounds good to me.

But aren’t you getting tired of all these commentaries on how dissatisfied the “man on the street” is in Iran with no visible action? I think we have invested too much hope in the possibility of reform from within.

They do this every year.

The Iranian government takes names, and later on, people disappear.

This is a lot easier than violent confrontations that might escalate beyond a street demonstration.

In 2003, they demonstrated by shouting, “Bush for President”, insinuating that they wanted Bush to invade Iran and overthrow the Islamist thugs.

In China they become fresh kidneys, in Iran they become reactor shielding.

I say we let the Iranians come over here and send the liberals over there. No Bush in Iran, the libs should be happy, right?

I've seen footage of them shouting "death to terrorists" as well during their annual 9/11 candlelight memorials.
