Okay, I'll play one more round.
Try the Economist, July 21, 2007:
"It is Friday prayers in Tehran. ... At the front under a podium is much of the country's turbaned political leadership. Also present is General Yahya Rahim Safavi, the commander of the Revolutionary Guards. ... Under the podium a green banner proclaims: 'So long as America sticks to its present policy Iran will not have negotiations with it.' ... A speaker denounces Islam's foes. 'Shame on you Israel, down with Israel,' the seated thong bellows in response. 'Death to America.'
