"Death to the dictator," these were the words uttered by a group of students as the President of Iran delivered a speech at Tehran University. In a rare political demonstration, students set off firecrackers and burned pictures of the dictator.I think that what happens within a country is very interesting. The reason the American revolution was successful was because it was started within and not by outside sources. Iraq's revolution was started by an outside force and was not driven by a unified people. What we have seen in Iran could be the start of a new revolution, one small group can start it all. What do you think?

I think that this protest has been severely over-blown by the American media. This was a small group of students on one University; hardly the start of a Revolution!
I agree with you Ian that it has been a highly publicized small event. That being said, the seeds of a revolution lie within a few.
