A fellow poster on another site posted this. I vaguely remember something about this.

"It took me a minute to find the article I read a couple years ago...here the link

http://www.wsws.org/articles/2007/may2007/iran-m25.shtml

It's titled "Bush authorizes covert CIA ops to destablize Iran"

Snipit:

"ABC News was at pains to point out that “approval of the covert action means the Bush administration, for the time being, has decided not to pursue a military option against Iran”."

"There is nothing particularly secret about the Bush administration’s campaign for “regime change”. Last year Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sought and received $75 million for anti-Iranian propaganda broadcasts and to fund opposition groups inside and outside Iran. In 2005, the figure was just $10 million. Rice also established an Iranian Affairs office last year, initially headed by Elizabeth Cheney, the vice president’s daughter, to coordinate policy and provide “pro-democracy funding” for opponents of the regime."

It was all over the news a few years ago...so these riots are the fruits of Bush's labors...
