Video: Iranian protesters tear down poster of Soleimani

Weird…. CNN told me they loved him pic.twitter.com/Z9VFu2fieg

What an insidious agenda the establishment media has, telling Americans that the Iranians loved this man, when many of them greet his death as a liberation. Do CNN et al want to see Iranians continue to be enslaved by this murderous regime?

    OK, so if the Iranians didn’t love this man before, why weren’t they tearing down posters and holding demonstrations months/years ago? Or is it only after someone with a bit of moral integrity and a bit stronger comes along and does a bit of the dirty for them that they suddenly discover all this courage? Might this also explain why islam keeps its hold on things in certain parts of the world? Funny how other people around the world refuse to take amoral bullsh*t lying down – take a look at Hong Kong for a start……

      Perhaps b’cos they have more courage to do it once he’s dead? Remember, last month, some 1000 Iranians were killed while protesting hikes in gas prices! So now that he’s dead, they sense the regime weakening in his aftermath, and reacting accordingly

      Although in Teheran, troops did use live bullets against demonstrators, so it’s still up in the air as to who wins in the end

        Agreed, Infidel.

    Somehow, his death seems to have inspired Iranians to do the things that some thousand of them were killed for just 2 months ago. It reminds me of one of the last scenes in Charles Dickens’ book ‘Nicholas Nickelby’ where once the news of their oppressive headmaster’s arrest reaches the school, all hell breaks loose, and the kids, after taking revenge on his family, just flee the school and scatter into the countryside

    I wonder what Iran will look like when the Ayatollah dies

    And yeah, ladies and gentlemen, here’s Iran’s version of Princess Di/Elvis/Patton/Patreus, courtesy the US MSM

    —
    they don’t care about persians; they only care that mr. trump is president, and they want him out AT ANY COST. we must remember that at best, these people are socialists; socialists who don’t understand that the only way a centrally-planned economy can work is to use force on the populace, since there are few issues upon which all people will agree, are unthinking idiots who have not thought things through. the knowledgeable socialists know that they will have to use force, and know that at least some of their fellow citizens will have to be gunned down to make their fellows fall into line; if a few *foreigners* die, that is much less concerning. those foreigners who will be upset enough to, say, riot in the streets because of the deaths of *their* fellow citizens, are the concern of the rulers of those people, not the socialists who want to rule us. and of course, to the pious ummah, if muslims die, then allah will treat them as “fighters in the way of allah” and grant them instant access to jannah … and what muslim wouldn’t want that (and if they don’t, they deserve to die anyway)? thus, the only people who give a s**t about persians being shot down in the streets and ruled by killer supremacist thugs and child rapists are free people who don’t want to see anybody shot down. and those are just the people whom the left hates!

      Reply to freeman: Many of us do support the Persians and wish them to be free of this tyranny. Hopefully, they can achieve true democracy when the mullahs are gone.

        Unfortunately, Iran is overwhelmingly Muslim. There has never been a real Muslim democracy.

        But even a somewhat less toxic leadership–as in, say, Egypt–would be something of any improvement.
