well I guess they know what to do with protestors..
Iranian lawmakers condemn protests; call for execution of leadersTehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iranian lawmakers denounced Monday's protests in Tehran and called for the execution of two opposition leaders for inciting the demonstrations, Iran's state-run Press TV reported Tuesday.
Members of the Iranian parliament issued fiery chants against opposition leaders and former presidential candidates Mehdi Karrubi and Mir Hossein Moussavi.
Press TV aired video Tuesday of lawmakers chanting "Moussavi, Karrubi ... execute them."
Lawmakers also named former President Mohammad Khatami in some of the death chants.http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/meast/02/15/iran.protests/index.html?hpt=T1This very much interests me.. in 09 Iran had a pretty big uprising that just never got anywhere.. I would think that if they had the same, at this moment and time, they could probably oust the ruling class.. It will be interesting to watch..
it will also be interesting to watch Hannity and Beck defend Ahmadinejad and the clerics the way they did Mubarak. Wait no, they want Iran to have democracy and oust Ahmadinejad.. so watching them bend and twist while they explain why democracy in iran is needed but democracy everywhere else is a bad idea..
Damn you.
If you remember I blogged about the Iran uprisings back then:

http://theworldofhowey.wordpress.com/2009/06/18/iran-update-4/It’s obvious the United States is taking the right stance on this issue and has the support of expatriate Iranian groups, the UN, and other countries. What is missing is the support of neocon members of the Republican Party who feel President Obama should interfere with a political matter in Iran.
Sorry. This is the last thing to do. What happened the last time the US became politically involved in Iran? We don’t need that again.
That said, the US should remain cognizant of the human rights of the Iranian people and keep a keen eye on the blatant disregard of the fraudulent government over there for said human rights.
I fear it's going to be even harder this time. The Iranian government has blocked (to the best of their ability) news from Egypt and Tunisia and have had three or more weeks to prepare for the inevitable.
It'll happen. Maybe not now...
