Iranians chanting anti-American slogans and supporting their nuke program sounds like just another day in Iran, to me. It's ugly, sure, but seems to me there's no benefit in drawing extra attention to it just because the calendar calls it a special day. We all know that protesters play to the camera, so I can't see how ignoring it is wrong, and maybe it's smart to deprive it of publicity.

There are some sleeping dogs better left asleep. If everybody started getting upset about being on the short end of somebody else's celebration, we'd have no end of trouble. Germans would get upset when we celebrate Armistice Day, the British would take umbrage at our Independence Day, we'd take umbrage when Vietnam celebrates the end of that war, and no doubt North Korea celebrates the inconclusive armistice as if it were a victory, Cuba celebrates throwing out the capitalist imperialist lackey running dogs, and on and on and on. France wouldn't get one day of peace the whole year getting pissed off at all the people who can celebrate a victory over France.

All we have here is just Iran wishing it had a victory to celebrate. There's probably no point in reminding 'em that they're celebrating a mirage.
