I'm more taken by what's going on in the streets. When's the last time you saw anything like that in the US?

Somehow you've managed to make it seem as if people here who are trying to expand the conversation based on added info we *do* have are being unreasonable because they're discounting info we don't have.
If you're so concerned about what you think is missing then give us something to respond to besides aw shucks questions.
And I'm going to repeat myself, but I'm still struck by the contrast between the aw shucks I'm just sayin' tone of your posts here and your more immediate reaction of gloating about Tehran hipsters being given what for.
