TEHRAN, Iran -- Hundreds of Iranian school students bused in for the occasion crowded outside the former U.S. Embassy on Monday, burning American flags and chanting slogans to commemorate the 29th anniversary of the building's seizure by militant Iranian students.
Equal parts day off from school and angry demonstration, the commemoration came on the eve of the U.S. presidential election and was marked by anti-U.S. and anti-Israel chants and the burning of American, Israeli flags and an effigy of Uncle Sam.
Some students carried banners reading: "Islamic republic will never compromise with U.S." and "Takeover of U.S. embassy was turning point in confronting American evil..." |

What's so scary about a talk? It's exchanging words, it's not doign sexy times. Talking is a good thing, it'll show both sides that the other is more like yourself than you think.
Anyways, the way the US has handled politics in that region in the past 60 years warrants some hatred, imo. |

Your article makes a strong case for dialog. I, as an American citizen, expect my government to put aside the neo-conservative policy of unilateralism and return to dialogue in our dealings with the international community. |

| Seeing as how he was technically born a muslim, I'm sure the islamic death penalty for apostasy would be a smashing subject of conversation. |

Hopefully it's creative destruction, because something obviously had to give.
The leadership has been totally inept for the last eight years and the people have spoken against it.
Stop crying. |
