Forty years on, will the Iranians do the same?

The whole world is watching was coined in 1968, in Chicago. Police were beating protesters in the streets, using gas, and trying to put down an on-going political protest. (Can you say Teheran?)

The reunion offered an utterly different view, saying that the officers had been “the only thing that stood between Marxist street thugs and public order,” and adding: “For decades the collective Left has white-washed what really happened during the riots of 1968 and 1969. Chicago Police officers who participated in the riots continue to endure unending criticism— all of which is unwarranted, inaccurate, and wrong.”
“From the pictures the media showed, it always looked like poor little Jimmy was getting attacked by the police, but what they didn’t see was what Jimmy did just a minute before. Everybody who got hit during the convention may not have deserved it, but 95 percent of them did.”
