As the youth jumped over the bonfires the traditional ancient rhymes were replaced with anti-government ones. "toop, tank, feshfesheh Akhoond bayad koshteh sheh" " Cannons, Tanks and Firecrackers We must kill the Mullahs".
In the Haft-Howz, Falakeh Dovvom and Nirooye Havaii, districts of Tehran more than 10,000 people had gathered. Some women openly removed their scarves encouraging others to do so too. In Mohseni Square, the youth fought back the Law Enforcement Forces. At least 20 government forces were reported badly beaten up by the crowds. In Amir-Abad district the people joined the students and more anti-government slogans were shouted. Police patrol cars, which attempted to disperse the crowd, drove away from the scene as the people started throwing home made grenades at them. In Aryashahr, the crowd were throwing pictures of Supreme Leader, Khamenei and Islamic Republic flags on to the bonfires.

Just like negative press can embolden the terrorists, press coverage on this could give strength to the revolution. But, the press and US/World left doesn't really want to see improvements... they are just all talk about individual rights.

Why has this not received any attention in the media?
Tony Snow said this is the most underreported story of the year!!

I believe that this 'rebellion' is going on in the northern areas of Iran. The journalists are all in Teheran, where the good restaurants are, and aren't exposed to it yet.

So on a night where the Islamic state run TV even resorted to showing popular American films to encourage the people of Iran to stay indoors, the fire of Zarathustra remained defiant and rekindled. Unfortunately, they choose to show "Gigli," which drove even more people into the street in a blind rage.

That's got to put a stick in their craw, the only way of mollifying the public is to give them something American.

The press is distracted by the breaking story that John Kerry served in Vietnam. The commiecRATs news media has been reporting this breaking story of
Comrade Kerry's Vietnam service for longer than the length of his Vietnam service.

LOL! Yes, its amazing how much publicity the press is giving Kerry for four months in Vietnam (leaving his "band of brothers" to do a full twelve).

Looks like the Mullahs for Kerry meeting will be delayed - while they run for their lives!

The media doesn't want to cover anything that might make President Bush look good
This needs to be repeated over and over again.
Some pundit wrote a few months back that the Democrats were not attacking Bush because of the war in Iraq; rather, they were attacking the war in Iraq because they hate Bush. (Or is it that Bush actually has done what all the Dems said had to be done in Iraq since 1998?)
