The Iranian regime apparently has something it feels it must hide. The police is going building to building smashing sattelite dishes. Is it possible the Mullahs worry that the people will find out that they are provoking their destruction?

Police in Tehran have begun dismantling satellite dishes from the city's rooftops - part of a campaign to prevent Iranians from watching Western television. The move follows a recent police order that all satellite dishes - officially banned but tolerated until now - be removed. The campaign against satellite television was launched by the Minister for Culture and Islamic Orientation, Hassan Saffar Harandi, who said "we have to halt the West's cultural offensive," on Iran.

Some observers believe that the clampdown is aimed at keeping the government's control over news regarding Iran's dispute with the international community regarding its nuclear program.

In recent months, all news coverage on the issue in Iran has been done with the approval of the Supreme Council of National Security, prompting people who wish to be informed by non-government sources to watch and listen to television and radio from abroad.

And yet the Repugs refuse any attempt to reduce America's oil addiction,
which helps pump $50B/year into Iran.

I don't really give a what's going on inside Iran. It's what's Iran is doing outside of Iran. Iranians have and deserve the government they elected.

Above, replace Iran with USA, and it all still holds true.

NBADAN don't you understand. the neocons are fighting your god hating, gay loving agenda for you. If it weren't for republicans who the is going to nuke iran after they nuke us?.............................Islam is at war with a hedonistic, pagan, loving, porn watching, tattooed America and in a war the righteous usaully prevail.....ask hitler.

Wasting your wife, shooting yourself in the head and having your flunkies roll you both up in rugs and burn you is prevailing?

This is really nothing knew. Every now and then the Iranian virtue police fan out and collect as many satellite dishes as they can, meanwhile the people hide the dishes for awhile disguised as bushes, trees, and whatnot. It's a cat and mouse game.
