70% of Irans population is under 30, where are they? --not one in a single picture of those casting votes.. Elderly hard-liners and clerics... amusing and ridiculous at the same time.

Another photo: Iranians boycott sham elections.



Who's voting? This 70 year old man shouts anti-US slogans.



Who's voting? This elderly woman wears the traditional chador worn by the most hard-line segments of society.



Who's voting? Elderly man rests before making his choice of candidates in the parliamentary election in Tehran February 20, 2004



Today's voters have pulled 10-15% in polls against reformists, but will sweep due to massive boycott and resentment of lack of progress by the reformists.



Who's voting? Hard-line Islamist Mullahs representing a dying breed in Iran.



Least we know Khamenei supports his dreaded regime.



Clerics, and more Clerics.



In spite of mass disqualication of reformist candidates, and boycott calls from all Student Groups and majority of society President Khatami supported the Hard-liners [once again]

President Khatami supported the Hard-liners [once again]

When will the word "reformist" become obsolete?

Yep, clerics and the elderly.
And not many of those either.

Thanks for the ping. Please keep me on your list.

So, if the people are refusing to vote, the next step is revolution...? It sounds as if it has already started...?

I guess the 30 and under will just have to show up for the Revolution instead --- it seems clear they were shut out of the election.
