Now Sully's been (understandably) pretty gung-ho in his support of the Iranian protesters and (understandably) pretty angry at their treatment at the hands of the mullahs; it makes sense that he'd post a music video, sent in by one of his readers, that gives voice to that protest.

Note that the video itself is an amusing pastiche of cable news channel tropes and it features an anchor in the studio and a correspondent from a remote site, both singing mockingly of "democracy", while we see footage of soldiers pushing civilians around, firing weapons, and behaving in a threatening manner.

But if you watch the whole thing through, something becomes obvious: the scenes of violence are happening in Iraq, not Iran. And the soldiers who are oppressing innocent people aren't Iranians, they're Americans.

I'm not sure if Sully understood that the video was bashing American leaders, not Iranian ones. Based on the title of his post, I'm guessing not.
