Saddam never had an opponent and won 99%. These elections though imperfect were open. Khatami's win in 1997 was a big shock, so the claims of fraud are weakened here. If the Iranian people are going to accept the election, as they have done so, then your indignity regarding the result is misplaced.
"Saddam never had an opponent and won 99%."
That's the point.
"These elections though imperfect were open. "
Oh yeah, Iran, big shining example of 'democracy.'
"Khatami's win in 1997 was a big shock, so the claims of fraud are weakened here."
Uh-hunh.
Just like the dead voting out west makes it unlikely to happen again.
"If the Iranian people are going to accept the election, as they have done so, then your indignity regarding the result is misplaced."
The Iranian students spoke up for more freedoms, and got crushed.
YOUR attempts to 'ho-hum' things are more than a disgrace.
Iranian student blogs have been shut down, students have been arrested, and guess what, people have died over there.
What is your agenda?
