Galloway makes an excellent point about the Shah being unelected. That's one the grand contradictions about these Iranian "democracy" supporters - they ironically enough support(ed) the Shah, who was unelected, ruthless and worse of all - a puppet.

[badgeless]

Not only simple minded but so filled with hate that they'll do whatever they can to smear Galloway. gallowaywatch posts countless videos in an attempt to discredit galloway but if he/she doesn't like comments posted he bans the commenter.

The British/Iranian caller is forgetting that the Shah was installed after a CIA/British backed coup that overthrew Iran's only truly democratically elected (and popular) government in the 1950s.

I don't agree with Galloway's blanket denial that the Iranian election wasn't rigged. The fact is we don't know for sure. The results were announced much sooner than normal even for Iran.

Galloway's wrong about British ppl living outside the UK not being able to vote... they can and do.

MESSAGE TO MR. MOUSAVI -- Part Two: ..when they must all be united. You should have conceded after election was over, under the pretext of the necessity to compromise at this critical juncture in Irans history; in order to make sure that Iranians stayed united so that the matter of nuclear issue get resolved peacefully and without Iranians having to be humiliated and forced to hugely compromise under pressure, or face devastating sanctions, economic blockade and war. It is still not late!

[ajmontand12]

MESSAGE TO MR. MOUSAVI -- Part One:

SIR, Iran faces four major dangers by year end if the nuclear issue is not resolved: (1) further crippling sanctions, (2) economic blockade, (3) war with the US and its allies, and (4) all of the above. All these will have devastating consequences on all Iranians, including those living abroad. Mr. Mosavi, you lost a golden opportunity for not uniting all Iranians by focusing on the imminent danger Iran faces. Instead, you divided Iranians at a time when ...

Galloway apologies for nothing in regards to the Iranian regime except that the Irainians have the right to sort their own government out. Galloway maintains that if there is evidence of a rigged election then we have cause for condemnation of the election.

Is there that evidence?
