Iran elections - revolution looms

[monkeytrousers]

Yesterday it was thought reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi had won the election after a massive 80% turnout - all the while knowing Ahmadinejad would not allow that to happen.

Ahmadinejad's contiuned threats to use nuclear technology to wipe Israel off the map is causing a 'cold war' type stand off as Israel considers preemtive strikes on nuclear development zones whilst also practicing nuclear air raid sirens on their own citizens in prepeation for nuclear attack by Iran.

Oh yes. I actually started to admire and Bush last year after reading some stuff, and how the press had their dynamic completely backwards.

People thought I was mad!

no doubt still do

Am watching this with interest as dd's dad is in Iran atm. It's awful.

Why is he there PSM?

Daddy - It's not new though - that all the world secret services thought he did have WMD's. The media have known this for years - but the inclination to paint Bush and Blair as idiots was too much for them.

He needed to keep up the pretence to waed off attack from Iran - even though he had got rid of a lot of them after the 1st iraq war.

Clerics have declared election invalid

Interesting.

So, will there be an Iranian Revolution sometime this year?

Mil has booked to go on holiday there this autumn - I did suggest that it might not be altogether sensible at present.

"In a speech delivered about two weeks after his electoral coup in June, Ahmadinejad claimed that his election "heralded the death of liberal democracy in the world.""
