The US, Britain and Canada have voiced concern about reports of irrigularities following President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's claim of a landslide re-election victory in Iran.
Thousands of protesters roamed through Tehran on Saturday, waging hit-and-run clashes with police and setting trash bins and tires ablaze and accusing Ahmadinejad of stealing an election from Mir Hossein Mousavi, his reformist rival.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, the US secretary of state, said she hoped the outcome reflected the "genuine will and desire" of Iranian voters, responding to claims by supporters of Mousavi that allege that the outcome was rigged to give Ahmadinejad a decisive victory.
"We are monitoring the situation as it unfolds in Iran, but we, like the rest of the world, are waiting and watching to see what the Iranian people decide." Clinton told reporters in Ontario, Canada.
The White House also released a two-sentence statement praising "the vigorous debate and enthusiasm that this election generated, particularly among young Iranians," but also expressing concern over "reports of irregularities."

Barak Obamanejad.
I am seriously failing to comprehend/understand why “the West” would be concerned:
Iran is not a democracy.
Iran is controlled by the Mullahs.
Iran’s president is first and foremost chosen by the Mullahs.
Fraud in Iranian elections are a GIVEN.
Obama dispatches democrat poll watchers
to aid in crisis and ensure fair election.
So why do we have to suck up to the Iranian regime? Fraud is fraud. Do we have to be more tolerant because a bunch of Iranian mullahs do it?

This site says Musavi got 19 million votes, Karubi 7 million, and Nutjob 8 million.
“Why cant people see that the Obama admin will lead to this?”

I think we both know the answer. For the past four decades or so the “Kooks” have been saying that there is a conspiracy to dumb down America’s youth so that they will be too ignorant to realize what is being done to them. Guess what? The “Kooks” had it right all along.
All that the founding fathers created and for which hundreds of thousands have given their lives has been thrown away so that our ignorant, unthinking voters could feel “cool” about electing the first black president, a narcissistic manchild who is not even black in the first place and not constitutionally qualified in the second place and totally inexperienced and unprepared to do anything but destroy this nation in the third place.
Yep, we damned sure did the “cool” thing alright! So cool that this nation will most likely never again even resemble what it was supposed to be.
To anyone who voted for Obama, you are an idiot, if you don’t like that you are still an idiot.
