Another Chance for Chairman Zero to Get It Right on Iran

Thousands of protesters streamed down avenues of the Iranian capital Thursday, chanting "death to the dictator" and defying security forces who fired tear gas and charged with batons, witnesses said.
Iranian authorities had promised tough action to prevent the marches, which supporters of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi have been planning for days in Internet messages. Heavy police forces deployed at key points in the city ahead of the marches, and Tehran's governor vowed to smash anyone who heeded the demonstration calls.
In some places, police struck hard. Security forces chased after protesters, beating them with clubs on Valiasr Street, Tehran's biggest north-south avenue, witnesses said.
As his prompt and unconditional support for the attempted communist takeover in Honduras proves, our Dear Leader is no longer opposed to "meddling" by taking sides. Let's see how long it takes him this time to figure out whose side he's supposed to be on.
