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.

This is also the reason why the Bali mall bombing got very little coverage over here -- because it would tend to imply that the War on Terror is the right thing to do.

What can Freepers do to help the people of Iran? Anyone have any ideas? Pray for our special ops guys. I'm sure the Iranian people are getting our help. We just won't know about it until it's all over.

I'm amazed at how little attention this story is getting. It's likely the biggest story of the week, if not the year in the long run.

Kerry is every bit the pathological liar that Gore is and they won't report that.I don't agree with your tagline.

I'm amazed that even the liberal press is ignoring this. Thay can't blame Bush, so they must ignore it, and stick to the talking points.
