Iranian elections and what you think about it.

[Salome]

What do you expect to happen before or on the eve of friday?

I can just hope that the will of the people will prevail, and not the leaders' imposed on the people by oppression and terror.

The thing I am not understanding is the indignation you guys are showing here. Iran is not the most democratic country in the world, what I am not getting is why all this media coverage by the Western countries, when we have as undemocratic things happening in Saudi Arabia and Egypt?

I am not saying 2 wrongs make a right, I am just trying to show the hypocrisy of those supposedly democratic western countries. They condemn undemocratic behavior only when it suits them.

Because of the danger Iran is putting the world into.

Because of Iran support for terrorism.

Because Iran is a terrorist country

Because Iran has a religeous barbaric regime.

Many ordinary Saudis actually benefit from the dictatorship. Much like in Dubai, where all Emiratis are given special benefits by their government.

If Egypt or SA will start doing the same I personally will be just as interested.

If Egypt and Saudi Arabia's people took over the government, Israel would be at war with both countries tomorrow.

me personally I would love to see a similar revolution or uprising in KSA, Egypt or in ANY non-democratic countries. Democracy might not be perfect still the most humane system we know.

But as mentioned earlier you can not impose democracy on the people from above, so first the people themselves shall show willingness for change they shall start demanding it from their leaders, they shall start holding their leaders accountable. I see something like this is happening in Iran...

Same can be said about Saudi and Egypt (Except for the religious state which egypt is not).

You want to see revolutions? Maybe you forget that this Iranian System came from a revolution and the Saudi System was a Revolution and the Syrian Assad regime started with a Revolution... We don't want to see CHAOS we want a revolution with clear goals and objectives fully supported by the people.

Believe it or not a HUGE number of people voted Nijad, regardless of the cheating I'm 100% sure Nijad would win anyway, He worked hard for that purpose ( Mosque bombing, Nuclear programm, USA/ISrael Shaytan akbar, Haaretz writing about Israeli strike on Iran ect...) all that moves the people to vote for him although he did mess up the internal politics and made people more HUNGRY than they already were BUT you see the same thing happen in Lebanon with M14's empty slogans yet horrible policies and robbing the poor.

This reminds me of BUSH he has voted again because of empty slogans and the people's fears However you see how much he messed up USA millions are losing thier Jobs and this is supposed to be the biggest democracy.
