I don't grasp this violent rhetoric. The incriminated article said nothing at all in support of the criminal regime--on the contrary it called for *nonviolent* popular resistance in support of a series of democratic demands that nobody should denigrate. Is demanding violent revolution in Iran (but not in the United States, where their heads are safe no matter what they say) supposed to be some sort of litmus test for Western radicals?
