The Islamic Republic (IR) regime has scheduled tens of illegal ballot boxes on the US soil

I think we need to step back and take a good hard look at ourselves. In the Iraqi elections we celebrated the fact that expatriate Iraqis could vote here in our country ... it was on the news every night. The candidates in the Iraqi election were Muslims. Now Iran is holding an election, the candidates are Muslims, and expatriate Iranians are going to be given the opportunity to vote here in our country. Why is one good and the other bad? I'm beginning to get confused.

I agree with you. Glad to hear some sense. It was beginning to sound like the Dems had taken over FR.

Just because a country isn't Conservatively Correct, doesn't mean we don't treat all equally.

You're confused by the difference in free elections under the watchful eye of our guys, but, rigged elections offering no choices by thugs?

The Iranian opposition movement is boycotting the sham elections. I read this as a ploy by the Mullahs to attempt legitimacy. Hold on and let's wait for Dr. Zin to show up and explain it.

Iraq elections: Fair and open.

Iranian elections: Sham and rigged.

Of course, stopping them would probably be counter-productive. The eventual uprising in Iran is not going to come because of the election, it will come because the oppressed have finally had enough.
