A realist's view of the protests in Iran

23/06/2009

Would they keep on demanding reruns of the election until Mousavi won?

By Muhammad al-Arabi

There is much talk about the presidential election having been rigged in President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's favour, but where is the evidence?



Opponents of Ahmadinejad find it incredible that, according to the official election results, the other candidates did not do well in their home provinces. Others say that the results were too quick to come out, and others still claim that the results of the ballot were too similar across the country to be true.

All this may constitute reasonable grounds for some suspicion but it does not amount to evidence, neither circumstantial nor hard evidence.

So what is going on in Iran? I think a number of factors are at play there.

This is why we have the 2nd Amendment!!!!!!!

There will be no regime change with peaceful protests as the protesters keep getting sprayed down, beaten down, and gunned down.

Good point. Let's hope we can all hold on at least to our .22 single shots so we can take out a few tanks if necessary. , because I can't find the thingy for tears.
