One man's hegemony is another's security.
It's curious to see Iran's protesters, as reported by the admittedly-censored Reuters, speaking against the United States in the native language of the left. "Hegemony," after all, has been the siren song against our country ever since the times of bell bottoms, Woodstock, and other such idiocy.
Of course, the fact that the press parroted this line verbatim is far less surprising.

PS: It's not civil "unrest" when the civil government itself is fronting the protests, Reuters. You might want to quit abusing that tag...
