Are you telling us that the iranian people would automatically rise up to join the mullahs? Today, yes: Mideast Anti-War Protest Leads to Clash washingtonpost.com By ALI AKBAR DAREINI The Associated Press Friday, March 28, 2003; 11:06 AM Anger against the invasion of Iraq erupted in protests across the Middle East after Islamic prayers on Friday, with crowds provoking the police to fire shots in the air in Iran and tear gas in Jordan. Hundreds of thousands of Iranians demonstrated, denouncing both "Bush's barbarism" and "Saddam Hussein's dictatorship." Demonstrators pelted the British Embassy in Tehran with stones, breaking windows and shouting for the embassy to be closed. The police fired into the air to disperse the crowd, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
