Iranian Election 2009 - Analysis by Fareed Zakaria and Christiane Amanpour in Iran

[sufiatheart]

No sane person would listen to 'analysis' from Zakaria. He is a paid up/signed up Zionist and Amanpour is as shallow as they come - talk about pushing propaganda.

[seolari]

.......they have hired the director cast the characters and designed the set, and your stupidly playing in their broadway show. they have bean using their top public relations professionals, to get you to rise up and destabilizes your nation. And you have bean good little mice performing flawlessly in there play. And let me tell you it has bean sickening watching them orgasm with pleasure and delight on how your destroying your nation. Good Job Assholes.

[seolari]

I have never seen a group of people more intent on hampering there national aspirations and development than the Iranian opposition. A group of people more naive and without scruples that history has ever known. A people on the verge of great strides of modern national development and regional and International influence, are shamelessly squandering it all away. Do you not realize that his is all a plan of the fascist Zionist neocons...................

[sufiatheart]

seolari: SPOT ON. I think you can rest assured that despite the noises they make, the CIA-backed Greens have no credibility. The majority of the Iranian nation and the political sense & wisdom to act fast & save the nation from the imminent ruin these idiots & their foreign backers were about to reak. IranHamishe.

[seolari]

sufiatheart I'm not so sure about that. Not being of Iranian nationality the intricacies of the politics are hard to grasp, but the way i See it is that there are corrupt actors like rafsanjani that are using the opposition to get into power. He on the other hand dose not realize that he is playing with fire. A revolution when it starts is very hard to control. the Zionists know that, they no that there is equal people on both sides and that civil war is possible. Thy would love that.

They would keep their paganism hidden to their hearts until they found their supporters and helpers.Only then they would come out openly....>>>I must inform you that,those who were killed defending truth and Islam were martyrs,and they are in paradise and those who are killed in defending paganism or hypocrisy,are now in Hell.

[111256able]

Imam Ali: I swear by the Lord who allowed a seed to germinate into a plant and Who created these men who are opposing and facing you and who are fighting against you who did not embrace Islam but for securing a safety for their lives and properties.They were not sincere in embracing Islam It was done simply to provide for themselves a place in the growing and expanding power and position of the Islamic state.

[dn32844]

Hallucination has turned Ahmadinejad and his master Ali khamenei to beasts. They have lost all logic and rationale and like a rabid dog just keep barking and biting whoever tries to show real nature of these criminals and their backward but fascist regime. These men and their follower are still living in 13 centuries but wish to have 21st century accommodation and weapons of mass destruction.

[WAQWAQSAHAB]

[hafizfalul123]

very true bro...

[Hafez21hafez21]

Its all Mousavis' fault, just today IRGC has given an ultimatum to the protesters... until now only Police and Basij malitia have been dealing with the protesters, but if IRGC gets involved the protesters are going to be in serious trouble, IRGC IS A FORCE THAT EVEN U.S PREFERS NOT TO MESS WITH THEM, AND AVOID THEM.

But what does Mousavi do?

He tells them to keep on with their protests...can you believe this moron, it is as if Mousavi wants to get this people killed, shame on Mousavi...

[stfnphil]

ESMALLPANJOOL, your hatred can't be more obvious, so there's really not much else for you to say. What about giving yourself some peace of mind?

[ESMALLPANJOOL]

TO ALL ASSHOLES IN THE WEST AND ALL SCUMS OF SOCIETY ABROAD.

WE VOTED FOR Dr. AHMADINEJAD AND NO WESTERN BASTARD CAN CHANGE OUR VOTE. THE CASE OF MOSSADEGH IS NOT GOING TO BE REPEATED. TODAY IRAN IS A REVOLUTIONARY IRAN

LONG LIVE THE BLOOD OF MILLIONS OF MARTYRS

LONG LIVE THE PATH OF IMAM KHOMEINI

LONG LIVE ISLAMIC REVOLUTION

DEATH TO ARAB WAHABI REACTIONARY ZIONIST REGIMES

DEATH TO USA

[battlestarvfx]

Reeeaallly? then why not have a re-election if you are so sure?

And this time let the UN monitor it. Nothing to hide or fear right?

[ESMALLPANJOOL]

BEST JOKE OF THE DAY!!! those who killed childeren in GAZA because they did'nt want to accept election results in palestine, those who manipulated ballot boxes in florida and chicago, those who go to egypt and stay next to a dictator and address and give democracy lectures to the islamic world, those who torture and kill in afganistan iraq and guantanamo, those who toppled the freely elected gov. of dr mossadegh....yes those scums of mankind are today "concerned" with democracy in iran! HAHA HA

[TheRedBaron420]

They're really fucked up the news but I'll have to try and ignore that and look past the idiots.

[nilazadi]

the girl was shot today we cried blood today they are criminal government ahmadinejad kesafat

[afemalehumanbeing]

Iran government does not care if kills half of people and live with the other half! Iranian people really want that foreign media reporters stay to cover the event. Please put pressure on government internationally to stay in Iran. Iranian people need this cover!

[ih8tbush]

AFHB,

I can only imagine the horror and your desire to effectuate change. Know that you are the change you seek. This event, this venue will change the world forever.

[vitruvianman828]

Iranians living in the foreign countries must support to keep the flames for change alive. your brothers and sisters inside Iran have already spilled their blood. People Power to the Reformists

[iFLAGEDurVideo]

FIGHT FOR FREEDOM

[Sharky2055]

Fuck YOU, blueslady77.

[canayamacan]

Victory to the people of Iran . The ayattolahs must  go now .They are dangerous demons . Hang all of them . Hang them high . Long live free Iran forever and ever and ever ......

[WHEREtheFUNK]

us sstay out of it.

[arakhachatran]

what nationality is this faggot Zakaria? He sounds to stupid?

[Sharky2055]

arakhachatran

To know if he's a homosexual you'd have to have know him. Since you're asking what nationality he is that means you don't. The only way you'd know that kind of first hand information is if you know him firsthand. That means you either watched, participated or are lying. So which is it?

[adi87tya]

he's american u idiot

[arakhachatran]

shuttafuck up jerk, I live in USA and know who is American and who is not.

[princessgumbo]

We shouldnt step in

[evb4mvp]

the iranian people are tired of these assholes running them, they should revolt. there is no democracy in iran its election was fixed.

[EspahbodSurna]

One would think, dissent against this fraudulent election is an alibi to show the true feelings of Iranians towards the imposed ruling regime. People are truly tired of bunch of paranoid mullahs and their imaginary enemies in the world. Bearded Mullahs with and without their turbans, constantly play with half truth and trivial subjects for inciting hatred toward others and praises for them. Enough of this nonsense Islamic Republic.

[rezabody]

DOWN WITH MULLAH DICTATOR

[203207ab]

John Mccain supporters obviously.

[dehdehsac323]

LOL NO U DIDNT.

[typeinbolivianbug]

israel is behind this . they are trying to destablize iran. ajmadinijad is accepting the fraud because he wants to build a nuclear weapon and attack israel. israel did it because he wants to drive a wedge between iran and barack obama effectively dismantaling his plan of diplomacy.

[ih8tbush]

there is no logic in your position.

You are apparently unaware that Obama won 70% of the Jewish vote. There are a billion muslims in the world and 14million Jews...find another scapegoat.

[typeinbolivianbug]

i should have said the current president of israel. im talking about his regime. i figured that would have been obvious but u must be overly sensative about the topic. im so sorry. i cant believe i offended you. im so sorry!

[kyd06]

hey guys can we all get a lone??????

[garra7888]

Fuck that short shit of a president, talks shit about the U.S and wants to destroy us. Fuck him

[typeinbolivianbug]

u seem like an idiot

[TheMorganT]

I hope that the Iranian People come to their own decisions on their future. I am not in favor of America (my home) interfering with the free and fair right of the people to decide for themselves.. I will say a prayer for them.

All GOD;s People shall be free!

Morgan

[Doecat92]

Down with the Dictator!

[Coachramsies]

I hope amadinnerjacket wins, he will be the only big dog to stand up against Israel and the US.

[rtelle9328]

nob

[ih8tbush]

yeah Amadinijahn is so brave hanging women from construction cranes and cutting off their clitorises...but if he hates Israel its all worthwhile you postulate?

take your crazy crap off this American website if you hate us so much!

[typeinbolivianbug]

shut up that never happened

[ih8tbush]

which part never happened?

They don't hang women from construction cranes in Iran?

Moslem women don't have clitorectomies?

[Coachramsies]

Exactly, its all worth it if he fucks with Israel. Keen observation!

[ih8tbush]

Coach I appreciate your findng my observation keen, but I wish to emphasise that this is not my position. It is my reading of the position of others.

[muselyve29]

I love Iran....but FUCK MULLAHS AND AHMADECRAZY MAN

[down2clicks]

Welcome to world politics and political maneauvering to bring about an end without a military means. If you don't like this, you sure won't like the alternitives.

[Rosa2008Fall]

The election show, with the campaigns and TV debates of its candidates and with the mindboggling way in which its results were decided and announced, was a shot in the foot for the regime !

Really GREAT IDIOTS these two are !!!

[astronism]

CNN Obama and USA stop supporting the fucking mullahs

[johnwaynetheduke]

Hey CNN stop supporting the mullahs.

Regime change right now!

Somebody should remind these two idiots that the whole Islamic Republic is an illegitimate state never mind whether or not the election is rigged...

[proton3227]

Ahmadinejad is a homo!.

[jayhl77]

What is Christiane smoking? Hasn't she heard any of the reports of rampant voting fraud and simply unbelievable "results", including Ahmadinejad's overwhelming victory in Mousavi's own strongholds?

[survivor303]

good capture, thanks.

[crtok]

Boring. Who cares abut Iran? Lets go watch MacGayver...

[GlobalFantasyDirect]

This is quite funny - YOU yourself, and only yourself clicked on this video, knowing full well what it was.

If you have nothing constructive to say, keep your goddamn mouth shut.

[ReconnaissanceJoy]

Sarcasm, moron.

[crtok]

They did the same thing in ex Yugoslavia. In YU has broken war on ethnical issues (in name of independance), same has happened in Iraq an next stop is Iran. Not that existing regime is ok, but how is this happening is simply textbook how to bring country/regime down. After that privatisation of natural resources and so on. Im bored of that happining again and making sucha big fuzzz out of it.

[loloemin3m]

well fuck Obana and his USA and democrasy and CNN

this happend like 1 month ago in Moldova and no1 talked about this cuz they can't take anything from Moldova...but now that's happening in Iran every1 is talking about it!!

[MUZIKfactory]

I am NOT saying fuck USA or Obama but I agree with you on USA blowing this out of proportion. We have riots like this every day HERE IN AMERICA, in front of abortion clinics.

They are quick to judge Iran because its Iran. When major shit happens in Saudi or North Korea, USA plays blind, but when it's Iran, they wanna hold a magnifying glass!

[GlobalFantasyDirect]

Because Iran has MAJOR influence over all the arab countries.

If iran reforms and gets rid of the Islamic republic tail, america can go around in arab lands do what ever the fuck it likes.

[ChristianLove2008]

Iran doesnt have influence in arab countries, what the fuck your talking about, maybe only iraq and lebanon because many people there are filthy shias, but in saudi arabia, you come and say your a shia or even iranian they will spit on your face. saudis do not consider shias to be muslims and they dont consider iran to be even a muslim country let alone islamic, so I dont know why people here are claiming this shitty nation Iran is Islamic? when its a shitte country!

[DeNiZLiLi87]

sorry but shia its not muslim.. its muslim but, the things that you can do in shia, the islam doesnt accept that.. like Muttha Nikah ,...

[GlobalFantasyDirect]

You misunderstand me - If keeps under 'islamic republic', the mullah leaders would intervene at the sight of any real western interference.

They are doing this with palastine, palastinians are sunnis, but the iranians are supporting them...

[ChristianLove2008]

Saudi Arabia doesnt have any mullats, it has a King, so I dont know what you mean "islamic republic"??

Iran is supported by china and russia are you going to tell me that china and russia is also muslim just cause they are supporting Iran?? they are supporting Palestinians for their own interest like trying to make it appear to the muslim world that they are helping but in reality they have made the lives of palestinians more miserable by their support of hamas

[GlobalFantasyDirect]

Wow, please actually learn something before starting a debate.

ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN.

Russia do not 'support' iran in respects that they are an ally, the only sell weapons to them, they have their own intrests at hand.

And it is the same with China, niether of these countries are ALLYs of iran, more business .

Secondly, i never said lives of palastinians are better, i am just showing you that Shia and Sunnis can get a long, you misapprehend everything i say little kid.

[ChristianLove2008]

Listen pal I probably know more then you would ever know, okay "Islamic Republic of Iran" BUT what "Islamic"?? I as a Muslim do not consider Iran to be a muslim country or even Islamic country and like 95% of the muslims around the world who are not shittes dont consider Iran to be Islamic or Muslim country, when people make reports they need elaborate, its like me calling Mormons christians, and claiming everything they do as being christian, that will piss off alot of people!

[GlobalFantasyDirect]

You as a muslim? Your name is ChristianLove, and you are apparantly a PASTER. So don't make up random lies to try and get me to understand you.

I am from Iran, born and raised. So i know what i am talking about.

Iran can be seen as the most islamic country, or the least islamic, islamic country.

It doesn't matter what a few people think. Shia islam is islam because it beleives in the same pilers and the oneness of god.

It is almost like the difference of protestants and Catholics.

[ChristianLove2008]

no the difference between Islam and Shiaism is like that of Mormonism and Christianity, we Muslims do not believe in "Priesthood" in Islam, Shiaism does, we Muslims do not believe in "Imamat", Shiaism does, we Muslims do not believe in "infallaliablity", but Shiaism does, We Muslims do not believe in "Mutah" but Shiaism does, We Muslims believe in "Al-Qadr" but Shiaism doesn, we Muslims Believe in "Tawheed", Shiaism doesnt!. I can give you thousands of differences between Islam and Shiaism

[ChristianLove2008]

"It doesn't matter what a few people think"

This is not what a Few people Think. The Place where Islam Started in Makkah and Medina the Scholars there dont even consider Shias to be Muslims thats why for the last 30 Years after the Iranian Shia Socialist Revolution all the Leaders of Iran were Banned from Coming to Makkah, Medina and even Saudi Arabia Ahma bitch nashit was the first Iranian leader after shia revolution to be allowed to Makkah that was only for political reasons he was allowed

[ChristianLove2008]

Can you please tell me why Iranian Shia Leaders and those in the Iranian Govt Have Been Banned from Makkah and Medina or even Saudi Arabia Before Ahma bitch nashit came to Makkah Last Year for Hajj which was only for a Political Reason that King Abdullah allowed him in btw,? can you tell me why?

Because Shias are not Muslims! that is why, No on Saudi Arabia thinks Shiaism is even part of Islam or even close to Islam, Shiaism to us Muslims is like Christiaintiy noting but Paganism.

[GlobalFantasyDirect]

Saudi arabians are generally very dumb, prejudice, racist assholes, who don't allow women to drive, or go out without a male escort.

They are very stupid people with a very low IQ.

They don't realise that Shia believe in the exact same things almost, the only real difference is that Shia's praise Muhammad's family.

[ih8tbush]

NO MUZIK factory we do not have protests attended by thousands ending in Police shooting every day in America in front of Abortion clinics, but you get a p for passion.

[MUZIKfactory]

The facts is that what happens is Iran is none of our business and we shouldn't repeat mistake of Bush administration, meddling in foreign affairs, which got us the title of "bully". It's not our place to pull a "shame on you". These people are rioting because they want democracy and freedom, values we stand for. We should avoid being judgmental and refrain from hateful comments, look at the past comments.

[ih8tbush]

Your comment bout why they riot and what we should avoid are contradictions of one another, my issue was with your exaggeration of your depiction of "every day in America"

[MUZIKfactory]

I was talking about 2 different things. There are Americans who would pull "shame on you, look at these people" kind of condescending and judgmental attitude when here in USA (as is the case around the world) we encounter with violence of different forms.

Face it, most Americans don't care about human rights in Iran, they care about how things affect us here in USA. Obama is doing the best thing, condemning the fraud but staying out of it. Bush meddled in everything, what did that get us into?

[MUZIKfactory]

Beside, at the same time Iranians wants US to speak out, they also blame us for "meddling". It's a catch 22 situation. If there's something to be done, let other world countries do it, why are we the one trying to fix everything and in the end, be the bad guy?

My heart goes out for Iranian who riots for democracy. If there's fraud, it should be uncovered and election should be repeated fairly. But Iran is a SOVEREIGN nation.... a nation that hates USA, need I remind? There's little we can do.

[ih8tbush]

1. I commend you for not taking us down into ad homini.

2. I think what your narrative does achieve is an affirmation of the complexities here.

3. But we can agree to disagree on how we view attrocities within the boundaries of sovereign nations. right? Is it not ok to cry foul on crimes against humanity wherever they occour?

[battlestarvfx]

Why? Because they only kill their own people?

[ih8tbush]

I remind you Mr. or Ms F# his USA that this is an American website that no one has twisted your arm to visit.

[TheAliAbbas]

After watching this video I am convinced that the victory of Ahmadinejad is right as Christiane Amanpour (Senior CNN Broadcaster) describe the details of the election campaign and the support of the wining participants around Iran. I think media is only focusing on Tehran and o 2nd my opinion the sea of Ahmadinejad supporters on the Victory celebration at Wali Asar square speaks up for its self.

Do watch with the open mind ...

[seneca67]

the vast population in the streets would suggest otherwise, aliboobi. Also why the revolutionary guard beating people? and threats against those who question the "purity of iranian elections" finally, what the hell is the deal with cell phone jamming??? Mr boobi , i find t is you who speaks from bias.

[ohworldgirlwylin]

I want to hear from a forerunner from the other side - the Ahmadinejad supporter side because all of the protests SAYS ALOT. When people put their life on the line--- SO MANY people b/c they feel passionate about an outcome being wrong. It says a lot. Also it's paints Ahmadinejad in a weird light since all cell phones usage revoked, BBC news was jammed, Facebk blocked YT blocked.

Mousavi apparently under house arrest - I'd love to get clarity, in the interest of future talks w/ Iran/US.

[persian1princes]

yeah I agree with you.

[persian1princes]

Aliabbas: i AGREE WITH YOU!.majority of Iranian people LOVE ahmadinejad
