Western pressure irks average Iranians csmonitor.com: "


TEHRAN, IRAN: Kaveh Ahmadi, a taxi driver and veteran of the 1980-88 war with Iraq, was quivering with indignation as he wove his aging Iranian-made Paykan at high speed through the heavy evening traffic of Iran's capital, Tehran. An ad on the side of the road read 'Nuclear energy is our indisputable right,' a slogan now seen frequently on television and at public events.

'I've got two Iraqi bullets in my leg,' he says. 'It was Western countries that supported [Saddam Hussein] when he used chemical weapons against us. Now they destroy Iraq and lecture us on human rights. America killed more than a hundred thousand people when it dropped atomic bombs on Japan, but they won't even let us have nuclear energy.'"
