These trashy monarchists posted up at the entrance of my talk to protest and harass me. They are the same freaks who celebrated and danced in the streets of Georgetown literally the day after the US murdered 168 school kids and teachers in Minab. And you can hear them justify bombing that school - the crime of the century - as a legitimate target. I might have just ignored them under normal circumstances, but I had just spent the week in the rubble of homes of ordinary Iranians who they lobbied my government to bomb. In the ruins of one destroyed Tehran apartment where an entire family of 12 was slaughtered in a US strike, I found clothes belonging to young children about the same age as mine. So it was impossible to pass by these accessories to murder without venting my disgust at them. Actually, the whole experience was cathartic. God damn these deranged Persian gusanos and their Clown Prince too.
