"I'm not impressed by your marches." (not an actual quote)

The anti-government sentiments that have been growing in the Middle East have reached Iran today as thousands of protesters marched from Tehran’s Enghelab (Revolution) Square toward Azadi (Freedom) Square. During the march, the protesters shouted slogans like “Death to the dictator” and “Down with Taliban, in Cairo and Tehran.”

These protests were inspired by the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, but while Egyptians just wanted Mubarak to step down, Iranians want their head of state dead.

What could possibly go wrong there…
