the US government coup d'etat against Mohammed Mosaddeq was against a democratically elected modern, socialist government- just like against Salvador Allende in Chile. both figures were replaced with capitalist-friendly dictators (Pahlavi and Pinochet).

ahmadinejad is regressive and theocratic.

[bagofbarn]

Are you an ass? First Ahmadinejad is not the leader. Second: The Shah was oppressive you dick. He killed and slaughter many and did not take people who objected to his means. Basically, you said capitalist by that you mean a puppet government for our corporations. This will serve Western companies but the the Iranian people. The point is to serve the Iranian people.

[grinningchicken]

Iran follows a 1400 year old way to run their government. But democracy is a 3000 year old system with obvious flaws. No country runs a pure democracy they just pick on their enemies for not doing what they don't do.

mikki: I meant marg bar eslamic regime. No offence to you or your religion.

Marg bar dictator.

[mikkitiny]

lets not insult any religion. agreed about dictatorship though.

and i am solidarizing with you about working class whose position may overturn the current iranian regime. bunch of youngsters is not a big threat to the religious system but masses of working people could be.

[kafir1917]

death to islam and islamic dictatorship

Long Live Iran

Iranian people can only beat the mullahs by following the leadership of the working class. Only a general strike by the oild workers will bring this terrorist government to it's knees.

Jaqvid Iran

marg bar eslam

[mikkitiny]

lol. you are good at making versions! i dare to go on a bit for you.

Of course, their slogan *death to Ahmadinejad* does not mean they want to kill him, it's just a reflection of the depths of their feelings for freedom and human rights.

[mikkitiny]

he is sort of special source. he works abroad in some international trade-union organization that just has ties with two iranian trade-unions. how well does he know the opinions among ordinary members of those trade-unions in Iran? and, btw, are those unions include all workers of the industry or just sort of alternative ones?

i believe that for many people it's not only about Moussavi but about broader issues. still, the question remains how far majority of protesters are ready to go?

stefanmplayer: Thank you for your support and nice words, i think it's very clever of your government and people to separate Politic from religion, because history shows every time people mix Religion with politic many innocent people get crushed under brutality of religious clerics which take advantage of there power, Hopefully the people of Iran learn and separate this two matters from each others too.

[stefanmplayer]

in the netherlands we have a separation of religion and governmental things, Iran would be far better off withouth fundamentalists in it's government, it would really easy relations between iran and the rest of the world

i hope for you and people who stand by your side that you can establish your goals and rid the government of fundamentalists and replace it be good reasnobl people

good luck

[stefanmplayer]
