Once again Chomsky provides the best, most reasonable and most unbiased analysis available on the internet.

Chomsky is great. Check out my latest video which promotes this interview and highlights his comments on the Iranian election.

[TheLegitHeel]

Chomsky claim is flemsy and almost contradictory, but easily disproven. There were 46,000 ballot boxes. Mousavi himself had 40,000 observers (89%) more than any other candidate. The observers monitored the votes during election day and stayed until as late as 6 am observing and signed off on the tallies. The 3 candidates only cited 646total "irregularities". Not one observer has cited a discrepency with their own count and the official results. All this information is available for the public.

Chomsky is spot on again about lran.

[SaeedBaba]

Mosavi does the same. Watch the streets

of Iran in every city. You will see Ahmadi

Nejad is not popular

[Redcarpet01]

Because his main foreign policy is to continue perusing a nuclear energy system is supported by most Iranians.

[SaeedBaba]

There cann't be no doubt that the announced result is fake. If the votes

have been removed to interior ministery

and then they come out and say Ahmadi

nejad has won with 11 million difference

and since there are so much difference

the don't concider a recount then I say

go f** yourself.

I cann't believe Noam says in a fair election he might have won. What makes

him believe it.

Chomsky's analysis is sound and gives a broad perspective.

[adrianewsmith]

Yep, the whole post election uprising is going to magnetise conspiracy theories for years to come - largely due to the $400 million dollars Bush threw at destabalising Iran in 2007. However, anything suggesting a CIA plot remains - though seductive - just thin and circumstantial whereas the evidence of some manner of election fraud by the Iranian regime is more substantial.

[AndrewMann552]

Chomsky's analysis is sound: We don't really know what happened or how.

This will probably be one of those fountains for endless conspiracy theories as the years go by.
