a bit harsher than in Egypt

I speak of this headline:

“Hundreds Of Iranian Lawmakers Call For Death Of Opposition Leaders”

“Pumping their fists in the air, the lawmakers chanted ‘death to Mousavi, Karroubi and Khatami. We believe the people have lost their patience and demand capital punishment’ for the opposition leaders, 221 lawmakers said in a statement.”

“221 lawmakers said in a statement.” Good God.

Meanwhile, protestors have taken over the main square in Manama, the capital of Bahrain, where I happened to be when this all started in Tunisia.
