Yep, they will try to quench the dissent, doing horrible and atrocious things like the ones we have seen. Its sad but, theres only 2 ways for the protesters to get their change. 1 - An armed revolution, leading to civil war. 2 - The international community recognizes whats happening as wrong and acts on it (And boy right now seems like you would need a genocide for that) | ||

In case anyone was still not convinced of irregularities, two provinces had over 100% of their population turnout. | ||

What kind of qualifications are they looking to exclude? I have only read in a few articles that said they pick candidates based on ideological grounds. There's the million dollar question. While ideology certainly plays a part, who's to say exactly what specific criteria the Ayatollah uses when determining which candidates can run. After all, I believe he could have constitutionally prevented Mousavi from running to begin with. But he did not. But beyond that who knows. | ||

This is total BS. First of all, the Guardian Council is not elected at all. There's no popular say in this at all. Secondly, the Guardian Council is the most conservative body in all of Iran. Their leader, Jannati, openly attacks the US and believes that there is no way to reconcile the differences between Iran and the United States. This guy loves Hezbollah too. There's no way the protesters are going to take this lying down. | ||

Concerning the history I don't think you need to be some hardcore religious right wing Iranian to think that way about the US-Iranian connections... | ||

Velr: He actually barely gives a crap about the history. He just thinks there is a fundamental difference between Islam and the USA's beliefs (whatever he thinks they are) that makes them incompatible at the core. Oh, and two British diplomats got expelled. I won't comment on it this time though  | ||
