This year, Iran not only made it to the World Cup, but their first game was against Mexico -- another country not unfamiliar with the soccer-sparked riot. In the end, Iran lost. By a lot. But......

LA Indymedia is reporting that someone called in the heavy artillery to break up an anti-war protest at the Federal Building in Westwood on Tuesday night. Seems that two tanks responded to the scene and attempted to drive the protesters off.
