#1 SOS. It's all the USA's fault again. No wonder these are third world countries. They take no responsibility for their actions (unless blowing something up-then that's ok). How do you spell pathetic.

#3 As stated earlier, the U.S. Gov't has some bad memories associated with encouraging "democratic" revolutions. Hungary, 1956; Czechoslovakia(sp?) 1968; and recently Iraq 1991. So i would postulate that the students are doing their thing despite the wishes of the U.S. Gov't. Which makes the article even funnier in my eyes.
When in doubt blame the Great Satan. Sigh. Now if we could figure out how to make this paranoia work for us...

#5
the U.S. administration does not believe in free elections and democracy in other countries.

I, for one, don't believe there has ever been a free election or any democracy in Iran.
