I wonder how many hundreds of thousands of  "Lionesses of Palestine" or "Lionesses of Iraq" or "Lionesses of Afghanistan" have been murdered and raped by the other evil forces, apart from the evil acts perpetrated by the Iranian government. And you don't hear the same crowd who are lamenting the death of one person, so that they could justify an invasion, as they did in Iraq and Afghanistan, and kill millions in covert military false flag car bombings blamed on other groups as well as more blatant bombing campaigns using fighter jets and cruise missiles, you don't hear the same crowd lamenting about the murdered wives and daughters of Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan, or Vietnam, Korea and Latin America. These are justified deaths and destruction, no matter what. What about the "Lion Cubs of Palestine" whom the IDF evil forces mercilessly kill routinely.. When viewed in context and perspective, the evil of the anglo-american New World Order is definitely more heinous, dangerous, decimating, gruesome, greedy, merciless and mercantilist than any other group that are currently fighting for domination.

Paul Craigs Robert, Bob Chapman, William Engdahl, Ron Paul, Alex Jones, are some of the names you want to find out about, if you're interested in knowing the side of the story that the BBCs and the CNNs certainly do not want you to hear. And by the way, the BBC has been caught, once again, manipulating photos taken in Iran in order to carry out their propaganda. It has become an established tradition over there at the BBC, from the 9-11 attacks coverage to every other engineered conflict.

I too was surprised that no thread had opened up yet on this.  As a long-time student of Iran I am following the situation with great interest.  It there are any visitors to this site from Iran, your insights would be most welcome.  The coverage in the US and the policians here are in general rather biased and reflect much ignorance about Iranian history and culture, but that of course is nothing new.

Originally written by John Bunch on June 24, 2009 4:15 AM I agree. One really interesting voice on this has been Stratfor's George Friedman. He has basically argued that the majority of Iranians support Amajinedad, and reject western norms and life, and "want to live the way their grandparents did", and that we in the West do not understand that.

The poll by Terror Free Tomorrow (http://www.terrorfreetomorrow.org/template.php?section=IN), an organization funded by Rockefella, done 3 weeks before the election and said to be the most comprehensive (albeit by a foreign organization) also pointed to the incumbent Ahmadinejad's victory. The poll threw up some interesting points (http://www.terrorfreetomorrow.org/upimagestft/CNN%20Commentary%20Iran%20Poll%200609.pdf and http://www.terrorfreetomorrow.org/upimagestft/Post%20Election%20CNN%20BBC%20WP%20Commentary%20Iran.pdf).

Reported by CNN: Surveyed on a wide range of issues, Iranians overwhelmingly favor better relations with the United States and greater democracy for Iran. The poll shows that the Iranian public remains far removed from the stereotypes of apocalyptic fanatics commonly asserted in some circles in the United States. The survey suggests that Iranians instead are a people with self-confidence and hope in a more democratic future. More than 86 percent of those who told us they support Ahmadinejad also choose free elections and a free press as their most important priorities for their leaders. Yet the government's actions since the election may have changed the debate in Iran from being about candidates to being about democracy.   Reported by BBC: An independent poll three weeks ago had Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ahead of his closest rival by a similar 2:1 ratio. The research was conducted by US-based polling organisations Terror Free Tomorrow, the New America Foundation and KA Europe SPRL.

So, what changed in between the polls and the election that led the opposition to believe that there was fraud and election fixing? Of course the authorities does not owe the world an explanation as elections are basically an internal affiar of the state. But the world would be watching on how the authorities respond to the allegations and demonstrate transparency in a convincing way. Whatever happens, I suppose we would see a more moderate leadership in order to take into account the changed political landscape.

Iran blamed the deaths on “armed terrorists". I wonder what made those terrorists immune from foreign bombings? In other words, what is the difference between the Iranian authoritarian regime whom we just let deal with the protesters and, say, Saddam Hussein whom it was necessary to topple by invading his country?
