I'm a moderate on the Iranian issue, but I thought you might enjoy this music video.

The question becomes to what extent do revolutionary symbols and songs like the one in the video, created by Western radical progressives to protest Western forms of constitutional oppression in nominal (or formerly) democratic regimes, become a tool to set up a similar regime in Iran, oriented toward benefiting the same-ol' secular bourgeoisie. That is why I'm not a fan of wholesale regime change in Iran (unless it were replaced with a left-libertarian form of government). There is still a place for moderate clerics in Iran like Khatami...

2. Anyway, I thought it was a cool video. Why don't US protestors have (or embrace) art like this?
