Would you be this brave?
Iranian students have disrupted a speech by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at a prestigious Tehran university, setting fire to his picture and heckling him.
“Some students chanted radical slogans and inflamed the atmosphere of the meeting” at the Amir Kabir University, said the semi-official Fars news agency on Monday, which is close to Ahmadinejad.
“A small number of students shouted ‘death to the dictator’ and smashed cameras of state television but they were confronted by a bigger group of students in the hall chanting: ‘We support Ahmadinejad’,” it said.
It was the latest in a series of student demonstrations in recent days, the first time in least two years that such protests have taken place on this scale at Iranian universities.
Hot Air has video of the protest.

Michelle Malkin: College students in the Middle East protest a world leader by shouting “Death to the dictator!” And for once, they are not talking about George W. Bush.
Hot Air: Judging from the posters visible in the video, the pro-regime students outnumbered the dissidents pretty substantially. It takes a brave man to stand up in this situation; god bless the few who did.
Stop the ACLU: These students are some very brave young individuals to stand up to the dictatorship like this. They are our best hope to change the regime in Iran without military force. I wish them all the luck in bringing revolution.
