Iranian elections and what you think about it.

[proIsrael-nonIsraeli]

I have not seen pro-Ahmadinejad rallies.
Are we to believe nobody supports him except Grand Ayatollah?
Or perhaps those rallies are too few and too small to be proud of?

I suspect Ahmadinejad and his supporters were told to stay out of limelight and leave "the job" to Police, Revolutionary Guards and Basij.

Whatever is going on in Iran today is not a revolution.
Not yet because people are not seeking for regime change and not successful revolution because army and police are not switching to the side of the protesters.

I think at this point it can go either way with Mullahs having slight advantage at the moment. Protests need strong leader. Moussavi is not the one or at least he does not appear us one.

and you got trolling in return. Except my trolling has much more merit in it than yours and you know it and that is what gets you "riled up".

BTW, if whatever I say is "just more garbage spewing from an empty-headed clown" there is no reason for you to get "riled up", is there.

Me being riled up would mean I'm no longer coherent. As far as I'm concerned, I am in the pocket, making points whilst emasculating you with insults--a good balance if you ask me.

A bigot, such as yourself, deserves no respect so don't expect any.

I read this blog today and it pains me to see people who are oppressed and shot for having an opinion no matter how different it is.

Anonymous Iran: A Message to the International Community from Inside Iran

this is a typical method widely used in the authoritarian regimes (ehm who was insisting on that Iran is just an innocent theocracy??) and particularly was practiced by Stalin's secret police...they come to you at night and drag you to an unknown facility where you are tortured and forced to make a false confession or just simply executed

and the world is watching and standing by?? another big stain on human mankinds' history

The sad part is when the cat tries to free the bird from the cage; its intention is beyond freeing it. Its intention is to eat it. That’s why the captive bird must not be that naïve.

yes sure, dont know if it is the biggest though, shall we make a list? am sure we will have a long one and many will compete for the "first prize"

you dont need to mention Palestine KSA etc...all the time just to make a point that Iran is not the only misery in this world...we know this, dont we?

the countless other crimes of the world will not belittle the crimes committed in Iran against the civilians, intimidation humiliation of the government thugs also called as basiji

Dakhelkon, didn't Bush actually cheat the second time he was elected? None of the Americans said anything about it. I guess Iranians are way more courageous and democratic.

Now can someone tell me how many peopel actually voted and by how much did Ahmadi Najad win and by how much they are accusing him of cheating? I haven't been following up Iran's news.

Yes Bush cheated but Al Gore did not contest, just like Murr cheated and Rahbani until today did not contest it. Musavi did contest Ahmedinijad.

Maybe Al Gore did not contest because there were not behind him superpowers finanicng and pushing for his contest.

Actually regarding the contesting or not, it is up to the people. How did Americans accept to be cheated this way, Al Gore contesting or not?

I just read abit the beginnign of this thread to have an idea, I still did not understand how did Moussawi declare victory even before ballots were closed, especially that it was said somewhere that he had declared he won by 52%, meaning not a huge difference, therefore can't be declared until ballots are done with.

It reminds me of what we had in lebanon with Sami declaring his victory before the ballots were all counted. I guess both Sami and Moussawi have the same advisers.
