The Axis of Evil mad mullahs just delivered a (temporary) blow against the war on terror.

How? This sounds like they're planning on reinforcing their power.

The reformists would get rid of the mad mullahs, al Queda, and all other support for terrorism. Hence the removal of the reformists from the Iranian ballot is a blow against President Bush's War on Terror.

We have our own "Guardian Council" of unelected folks in black robes.

This is great news. The sooner the Mullahs push this issue the sooner the country will flip and overthrow the Mullahs.

This is eerily familiar to students of the French revolution. That one didn't end too well for the aristos...

Oh, I see! Sorry, I thought you meant that the reformists were assisting the mad mullahs.

Sometimes, it's just hard to keep those mad mullahs straight!

Have the reformists ever read America's Declaration of Independence?

Maybe they should hold their own national election and set up a different government.

From what I read, there's not enough room in Iran's prisons for 75% of the population.

But, this gives and issue to galvanize the populace against the theocracy. May be in the long run a good thing.

Our exploitative unelected mad mullah tyrants infest the 9th Circuit and sometimes 4 out of 7 in the Supreme Court.

We shall see how much IslamoFascism the Iranian people can tolerate. I suspect their tolerance is about ready to crack..

The Guardian Council has always decided who the people could vote for. This is nothing new. I don't understand the "outrage" from reformists. Did they all just crawl out from under a rock? Hmmmm......well, yes they did, but you know what I mean....... I suppose the "outrage" is a ploy to get votes. (I'm shocked, shocked that there's gambling going on...") Still, if it makes the news, GOOD.
