Rafsanjani, Karoobi, Mousavi are all on same team, they speak soft but carry a big steak. they are playing games at the expense of iranian people, they have western media fooled, and they have fooled some people in iran.this mess is all Mousavi's fault , he is the one who said that the elections are rigged. Rafasanjani & Karoubi want to show Ahmadinejad who is in charge through Mousavi. of course those who are fooled by Mousavis lies are going to get angry, Mousavi dont care who gets killed

Well said. Of course young people in Tehran say the majority was for Mousavi when his supporters are mainly those in Tehran anyway. The rest of the country are firm supporters of ahmadinejad and these rioters only think of themselves

ok Zorast can you tell me who this people are after watching this Clip:

Iran: 2 January '08: People of Yazd Greet Ayatollah Khamenei

Arent this Iranian people? arent this the supporters of Khamenei who is backing Ahmadinejad? who do you think they voted for? and this is just one small City called Yazd, Khamenei and Ahmadinejad have so much supporters its unbelievable now this are the facts you dont see in CNN and Fox etc...

[Zorast]

ARE you BLIND or ?no doubt that u are so not using ur brain cell (perhaps u dont even have any)

Other cities in Iran are protesting againt Khamenei's regim too. The fact is based on the size of the cities (mostley small )Khameni's Vulture (basij) have power on everybody by recognising them, meaning it is really dangerous for people to come out everyday and support their fellow Ironi in Tehran. As this vulture arewaiting for them to take thier blood and head to thier terrorist leader.

[Zorast]

do u need more prove then take a look at other footage ,Ahmadi and Kahmenei's regim killing ppl for raising their voice against these two murdere. To be honest I feel pitty for Ahmadi, he is just a doll being played with the biggest murderer Khameni. Poor Ahmadi he belongs to Mental hospital and they are mis using this retarded person. Freedom is not for FREE...

I am not against reform, democracy,  i am not a fundemantalist, but...

I know for the Fact that Mousavi is a lier, and is a hypocrite, he has lost an election but resorts to cheap political action's such as calling the elections rigged, based on no facts, and only fiction. this guy caused so much trouble for no reason, and yes he got people killed for no reason, just take a look at who his backers are, Rafsanjani! Karoobi! and prity much every other corrupt individual, that has power in Iran.
