Entekhabat by Citizens of Baskerville (Iran Election Protest Song)

This is a song by Citizens of Baskerville called "Ballots, Bullets, Blood (Entekhabat)." The song is about the peoples' uprising against their government in Iran. The images illustrate their protests, as well as the government's questionable methods of suppression. We support the Iranian people and their desire to have a free and open society. We do not support any political group or faction. We solely desire for the people in Iran, and everywhere else, to be free. The final clip is from a crowd in Tehran. We chose this clip because it gives voice to the desires and frustrations of the Iranian people.

You show disunity due to getting brainwashed. If you want to unite, unite with the PRO Conservative people. because America is going to attack all of Iran. first is promotes your Green movement and funds it to give Islamic Regime a negative image to the world. to get an excuse to start bombing Iran. but when it bombs, You will not be spared with us. all of us will get bombed. Thanks to your gullable naive dumb disunity. Ahmednijad is a great president.

@wugufugu yes, they did put the mullahs in power, but they didnt want this either. they didnt think they would be such idiots to kill innocent iranians in the name of islam. islam isnt wat they do. islam is in the quran, and what im doing. you think these old and rediculous mullahs are muslim? a muslim is not a dictator. they are dictators. that makes them nonmuslim. and the muslim haters LOVE that because they know they are the ones that give islam the bad name, then everyone will believe them

@wugufugu shut up you dummy! why do you care about iranians anyway! go away, iranians are the best. they are better than you.

@EspahbodSurna no you should say the government must be destroyed not Islam! hater. Khamenei is not even a real muslim. he is a big murderer and the best friend of the devil! Islam is beautiful.

please read my comments starting from "What is ironic..." and continue up :)

Of course, as im sure you know, the Shah we placed into power was a tyrant who ruled with the SAVAK (secret police).

Although the Shah was overthrown, the people attempted to establish an Islamic Republic of Iran (not a Fascist state as you imply). However, the current regime has forcibly disfigured the government into a dictatorship.

Hence the protests.......

According to my textbook on basic International Relations, "President Eisenhower, as part of U.S. containment, had the CIA destabilize the Tehran government... The CIA's Kermit Roosevelt arrived with $1 million in a suitcase and rented a pro-Shah mob. [Prime Minister] Mossadeq was out, the Shah was restored, and the US won a battle in the Cold War" ("Countriest and Concepts" Michael G. Roskin).

What is ironic in your statement, Wugufugu, is that the Iranians did no "put in" the Islamic Fascist state.... that was the Americans.
