U.S. fails to thwart Iranian democracy

Despite the vast propaganda of U.S. and other Western media outlets and their calls for the Iranian nation to boycott the presidential election, the Iranian people demonstrated their national unity in opposition to Iran’s enemies through their massive turnout in Friday’s election.
The BBC's Frances Harrison in Iran said the turn-out was very respectable - and could be even higher in the second round.
Voters would want to choose between two men with very different policies, she said.
According to the interior ministry, some 62% of the electorate took part in the polls, despite boycott calls from some reformist groups

One of the criticisms levelled against Iran is that many candidates were disqualified. The truth, however, is that many candidates were unqualified.
In every country there are certain qualifications that a candidate must have. These may include things such as age, education, country of birth, time of residence, loyalty, etc.
For example, in every country, the candidates must have loyalty to a specific country. In Russia, the candidates must be loyal to Russia. In China, the candidates must be loyal to China. In the USA, candidates must be loyal to Israel.
Every country requires its political candidates to have loyalties to a specific country. It would be unthinkable for Russia, for instance, to permit a candidate to run that was going to sell the country out to England. It would be unthinkable for the USA, for instance, to permit a candidate to run that was going to sell out Israel to the USA.
Well, Iran also requires certain loyalties from its candidates. It also requires other qualifications also. I hardly think it fair to criticize Iran for not permitting candidates to run who did not meet the required qualifications.

Another of the accusations against Iran's democracy is that supreme authority of the country lies with the leader who is unelected by the people.
That hardly seems like a fair accusation considering that the supreme authority of the U.S. lies with the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governers, and he is also unelected by the people.

"It also requires other qualifications also."

With the amount of military pressure the US has put on Iran in the last couple of years, I couldn't imagine how the iranians would vote for a sellout president. Generally when a country is threatened, the people unite and vote for a strong man, but this is another thing the uneducated USans couldn't imagine.

Sorry, its a spanish saying, more or less "each one in his home and God in everyone's".
So, I love peaceful transitions, each country has its own soul, and welll, i'm proud the soul the arabs and persians, note that they were the rulers of IBERIA a thousand years ago, and for me, if I were a historian would consider the best of my country, because of one technical fact, people used to have little water found plenty of it, I hope one day we can meet in the Al-Hambra of Granada, and enjoy the fountains the arabs created just to enjoy the sound of water, they left us half our vocabulary, and the best agricultural places are those that still use or developed arab ways. The al-andalus Dinar was the strongest currency of its time, not to insult it saying it was the dolar of its time, Is sciene and tech what makes peoples wealthy and free.
I disegree with the catholic notion of work as a punishment, and the othjer day reading the iranian acievements in industry and tech felt very well because every system has its shortcomings but I see investment in the people, and I think tha people knows what is better for them, and persian are old and wise enought to move their country and help to move the world also, as every country in the world.
we do not need a bully on the block, and elevators are pretty unsafe these days, arent they?

"The ninth presidential election of the Islamic Republic of Iran surprised political analysts throughout the world."
Which political "analysts"? This phrase invariably is nothing more than Western doublespeak for American, English, or other Western propaganda shills.
But once again, their so-called analyses prove to be the usual half-truths, whole lies, and (self) deception.

This morning I was searching shortwaves listening what goes on in the world.
Voice said by next year NATO will have Rapid Response Force
to strike anywhere in the world.
I imagine Teheran elect new president — Bush disapproves
-- Bush order his RRF to strike Teheran arrest him and bring him to The Hague for warcrimes...
What could Iran do? — nothing.
Putin & Hu must be worried — suppose — suppose...
If Bush order his RRF to descend on the Forbidden City
arrest Hu?
Kim Jong Il orders his RRF to descend on the White House take Bush in arrest...
Is that the way things are going to be in the 21st Century?
