I’ve been hearing this same crap since 1979.
Isn’t “may you live in interesting times” a chinese curse?
If they rig the election, the govt becomes illegitimate and the citizen have the responsibility to take the law into their hands.My gut tells me that this is what’s coming in 2012, which is why there is no network coverage of what’s going on. The world is turned upside down when Persians have a better sense of Democracy than does Americans.
can we just call him BOOBama from now on?
Why the color green. Where does the significance arise from?
Green is the color associated with Islam.
That is some fine “robust debate” Harry.
Check out the flag of Libya for example. All green in honor of its Islamic roots. Muhammad is quoted as saying “water, nature and a pretty face are good things” or some such. Nature is green.
Thanks calex, re: info on Mousavi. IYO is there a leader for Iran. Is there much hope for the late Shah’s son?

I don’t think so. I think if they pull off their “revolution” they will still be stuck with the Mullahs, unfortunately.
Excerpt follows.
Per news.gooya.com, at least 15 students were severely wounded Sunday after clashes with police at a Tehran University dormitory. Shots were fired and the casualties could be much higher.
You cannot fight guns with books.
I don’t care for the writer’s use of the word ‘right’ in describing the current Administration in Tehran.
To compare the oppressive regime in Iran with the Right in the USA is appalling.

Charles Dickens.
A Tale Of Two Cities.
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”
Book 1, Ch. 1.
CA....
Thanks, CA. Doesn’t sound so different from today, does it?
That’s okay with me. He sure is one big one.
Ya got me...
Obama is the worst of the old criticism of US policy. He is merely for the status quo.
He retreated from President Bush’s policy about freedom for ALL. The old cynicism about the ME is deader than dead re: Iraq. Even with their issues, they are building a Republic.
And others in the region are asking, “If Iraq can, why not us?”
Thus the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon, etc. But Obama sits by and will not “impose” our God given rights of freedom on others.
Loser!!!! Obama is a loser. And he sits by without a word of praise for Iranians dying for freedom. Nary a word on their behalf.
You think Reagan would sit by and say nothing about that?
