President Bush may have triumphed at home, but he was burned in effigy here Wednesday. A noisy street demonstration marked the 25th anniversary of the student takeover of the U.S. Embassy, after which 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days. Unlike past commemorations, this one appeared to be focused on the future and the potential for a major showdown with the United States during a second Bush term. Bush and not Jimmy Carter, who was president during the 1979-81 hostage drama, was at the center of the protest. Three massive photographs of the president served as a backdrop for speakers who criticized U.S. foreign policy. The subtext throughout the protest was the escalating dispute between the United States and Iran over Tehran's nuclear energy program. "Nuclear technology is our right, and we are not going to surrender our rights to the United States or Europe," vowed one of several banners waved by teenage schoolgirls in a crowd of thousands. The crowd gathered outside the sprawling former American compound that is a training center for Iraq's elite Revolutionary Guards military unit. The two-hour rally ended with a statement, read to roaring chants of "Allahu Akbar," or "God is great," that Iran would never give up its right to nuclear technology.

Oh course that was supposed to say Bush, but...it's after midnight... gimme a break.
I predict that Ayatolah Azzholla's time grows short.
I hate 'em, and subways too.
Iran is like the only foreign government that hasn't congradulated Bush today
What did the bus do? Just curious.
"...the bombing starts in five minutes."
"Nuclear technology is our right, and we are not going to surrender our rights to the United States or Europe,"
Too late! I used to hate busses when I was a kid too. Still do.
You would be suprised how many of the Iranian youth are for Bush. You can actually go to Yahoo chat and talk to these people. You only hear about the usual freaks on the news, but most of the youth over there do not want to be led by the ministers.
Must have been an Israeli bus full of pregnant women and preschoolers.
The Iranians are angry at a bus? What did the bus do to them?
interesting contrast:

Millions of Iranians expressed their satisfaction on the outcome of the US Presidential elections and George W. Bush's victory by calling and congratulating each other. Many were seen walking in the streets and shaking each others hands or showing a discret V sign.
Many are speaking about the promises made by Mr. Bush to back the Iranian Nation in its quest for freedom and democracy.
Sorry!
Hammas called earlier today and Syria on the other line... We'll call back around 4:00 pm your time ... buh bye!
"...just get on the bus, Gus."
NO BUS! YES TO LIGHT RAIL! (and stoning...)
I'm aware, but I would prefer they be for their own freedom rather falsely expecting Bush (the American people) to do it for them. When they learn to use ice picks on the mullah's frozen corrupt theocracy, only then will it matter.
