Defiant Tehran protesters battle police

TEHRAN, Iran – Thousands of protesters defied Iran's highest authority Saturday and marched on waiting security forces that fought back with baton charges, tear gas and water cannons as the crisis over disputed elections lurched into volatile new ground.

In a separate incident, a state-run television channel reported that a suicide bombing at the shrine of the Islamic Revolution leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini killed at least two people and wounded eight. The report could be not independently evaluated due to government restrictions on journalists.

If proven true, the reports could enrage conservatives and bring strains among backers of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi. Another state channel broadcast images of broken glass but no other damage or casualties, and showed a witness saying three people had been wounded.

Not really

The Iranian government will crack down on these malcontents, jail the criminal leaders, and that will be the end of the story.

"We" are not freeing anyone. Declarations and resolutions of support are not means of meddling.

Maybe yea, and maybe nay. These young Iranians are hungry for a democratic lifestyle like we have. They listen to the same music as our kids do, they eat the same junk food as our kids do, etc. This may be the time for these kids to take over the government of Iran.

You people are borderline silly over the Iranian protesters.

In 1989 there were massive protests at Tiananmen Square in China.

It went on for a couple of weeks and involved huge numbers of Chineese citizens.

The news media intensely covered the story and experts predicted the fall of the communist Chineese government.

Wrong!!!

The protesters were violently stopped and the ring leaders arrested and given long prison sentences.

The incident faded into history and the Chinese government continued on with business as usual.

The Iran situation will also follow this same scenario and become a non event

 

[Lycurgus]

They are pouring chemicals from choppers onto the crowds and arresting the wounded and taking them from the hospitals.

The slaughter has begun, the true face of the Iranian government is on world display.

But you are wrong, China changed radically after that.

You can only hope, right Sunni you sick bastard.

You may be right, but keep this in mind, Iran is not China! Not even close to that level of world power.

The protesters have resorted to criminal tactics and terrorist activity.

Of course the police will resort to deadly force.

They've been doing the chemicals all day, at least since 8:30 am CST. Seems to be a mix of tear gas and water.

They are marking doors of protesters, waiting for them to return-more shades of fascism. Difference is, messages are out and people are using solvents to get rid of the markings. Imagine if the Warsaw ghetto had had cell phone cameras and twitter/you tube? Other countries could not have ignored the 'stories.'
