Keep several Poll locations open as late as needed to pad the vote while letting all others close (Early- (and the new Late-) Voting trends)….

I wonder what they call their version of ACORN there?!?!?

The Democrats here, of course, don’t have to shut down media outlets and/or information flow as they control 95% of it. Wait, same as there – guess they figured out that the populace is getting the real news from that other 5% alternative. If only more Americans would wake up to it.

I had a free preview of HBO and started watching this program. You have to watch it. It just documents real people in Iran. No narration. HBO's Spotlight On Iran to Air "Letters to the President" http://letterstothepresidentmovie.com/webpages/clips.html

Some conservative elected official needs to “man up” and say something to the effect that the free peoples of the world stand with the Iranian people who have had their freedom denied for far to long, because Obama most certainly won’t say something so bold.

My concern is that an eventual Armageddon-jad loss would be seen by the American People as “OK – Iran problem solved.” Whoever gets elected, Iran will continue to develop nukes with the ability to hit more of our bases or Israel.

I am, however, excited that there is a real possibility of more chaos in Iran. I want it to go country wide. I want whispers of freedom to run from Tehran to the Persian Gulf. I also want any iota of freedom the Iranian people can get for themselves. One that door is cracked, it becomes harder to shut.

I’m an old lady of 57 & have very basic computer skills. So If I have
offended you because of some etiquette breach, then I do apologize.
But just like many of the other posters here, I stand by what I have posted.

what they think of us, because what they think of us will certainly dictate
what they *do*. I do not pretend to be an expert on Mousavi, but from
what I have read, he is no friend of Israel, and there are no indications
that he would try to limit Iran’s terrorist activities. I’m not promoting A’jad,
I’m just saying that Mousavi could well be promoting “hope” & “change”
In Iran, & we all know how well that’s worked for us.

I’m not sure that’s the important thing here. It’s not what they think of us, it’s what they *do*.

Is he less of a nutcase? Less of a Jew hater? Less of a terrorist? That’s what I want to know.

want direct intervention into Iran’s affairs. I firmly believe that America’s
attitude that’we know better than you do” probably led to the
’79 revolution. When I lived there, even the poorest American was much richer than the average Iranian. My Dad worked for SEDCO (now Schlumberger),
and there was no effort made by them or the U.S. gov.t to teach us to
respect their culture ( can’t speak for how the military prepped their
personnel). The American school did not teach about Iranian culture,
and there were no classes teaching Farsi. Americans were arrogant ( I
do hate to admit that). Case in point, back then, girls wore dresses, not
pants (you youngsters may find that hard to believe); thus we were
exposing not only our heads,but arms, legs, etc. You can see how this
was an affront to their culture (religion). If America tries any covert operations,
and fails , then we only give A’Jad (mullah’s mouthpiece) the right to say, “see
I told you the West wants to take over,Imperialist infidels!” Although Mousavi
is considered more moderate, this is only in comparison to the present regime.
I have read nothing that convinces me that he is pro western (especially in
regards to their nuclear development). If anyone is interested, the
Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi (son of the late Shah), has a website:www.rezapahlavi.org. He comments on the current unrest in the
country.

Both of the leading Presidential candidates are extremists. The main difference is that one of the candidates favors getting rid of the religious police and greater opportunities for Iranian women

Just to complete the picture, the French also put pressure on Clinton to take military action.

There’s no such pressure on The Man Who Would be God.

and I seem to remember that both you and I said repeatedly that President Bush would NOT leave the Iranian mess for Israel to have to clean up or for his successor to screw up.

we were both wrong…
