#2 Because they know the regime is using deadly force, yet they still protest. It's a sign of illegitimacy for the Ayatollah's Islam

#4 You're not wrong Frank G. But life in the middle east is cheap. Paleo's frequently sacrifice their life attacking Israeli soldiers and die for a lifetime stipend for their family. They revenge kill each other daily, murder their daughters for a perceived disgrace. They are so pathetic it's easier to die than live. Eight or 100 dead, not news.

#6 Why is this news?

Remember the Arab Spring?
This may be the trigger for the Arab Fall.

It becomes news when the Ayatollah
is dragged out, disrobed
and raped to death with knives.
And delightfully corrupt loons
are given to be king, men
p-p-pistol whipped by their wives.

Hasten the day, inshallah an' all.
Oh! The nuclear program will need dismantling, it's bad. Enjoy democracy, Joos 100: Moslems zilch.

#9 -checks watch-

Must be about time for Obama to make a statement condemning the protests and affirming the absolute legitimacy and election integrity of the regime.

-puts on dinner jacket-
I'll have the roast duck, and a reaper drone with 3 servings of elderberry sauce to land in Iran.

#11 LOL the moment Iran gives up their nuclear weapons program is the moment they get invaded. Libya gave its up and got a color revolution for its trouble. North Korea hasn't been invaded because it does have nukes.

#12 I hope someday a massive preference cascade like in Romania in 1989 will happen in Iran.
