@KIWITER2000 what evidence do u have to prove what you are saying about Iran is correct? If your evidence comes from channels like cnn,bbc,msnbc etc etc..then i suggest you reevaluate your position.i have my family in Iran, and what ever is being spread about iran in the western media is absolute bullcrap,iran is an islamic democracy.don't see things from a contrived perspective my friend.do ur own research.what is wrong in being obsessed with religion?i am not religious btw!!

@doi9r

Please wake up. We got rid of Shah, because he was a dictator and corrupt. What do we have now, a worse government with no democracy and freedom. Jailing innocent people who did not want to vote for Mr. A. torturing and raping them. how can you defend this disgusting regime. you seem obsessed with religion..............who cares where people come from, we all brothers and sisters,

please purify your young heart and treat this universe as a big family. God bless

The election and the following recount were a big fraud and the government knows taht. They imprisoned tens of people even before the election start and the whole Tehran was under Martial Rule.

[sp9644]

When they recount, teverybody saw that the ballots were not even folded whereas when you vote, it is impossible to do so without folding it. All were with the same handwritting, the same pen color, etc.
