View from Iran writes I watched Khameini speak at the induction of new police officers (on television, not live). Thousands of blue-hatted men lifted their fists in the air and shouted “Down with America” like a bunch of automatons. Why do regimes always choose to portray themselves in the most despicable manner? Why do they goose step and raise their fists in the air? Why do they choose to set themselves against an enemy rather than for themselves?

    I have corrected a whole slew of mistakes in this post. They were pointed out to me by a commenter going by the name of “M” and hope that anyone landing here will read the corrected post.
