A classic demonstration of how the Iranian regime uses the United States as a scapegoat to help maintain its oppressive government. Citing the "semi-official Fars news agency" AFP reports on a student protest durning an Ahmadinejad speech at Tehran University : 

"A small number of students shouted 'death to the dictator' and smashed cameras of state television but they were confronted by a bigger group of students in the hall chanting: 'We support Ahmadinejad',"

 The story continues:

According to the student news agency ISNA, Ahmadinejad responded to the students' chants of "students can die but they do not accept degradation" by lashing out at the United States.

 "Today, the worst type of dictatorship in the world is the American dictatorship which has been clothed in human rights," he said.
