Can someone summarize what's going on over there? Last I heard there were elections going on. - JaxSean Jun 15, 08:23 20
- the guy he stomped is claiming massive voter fraud, the losers supporters are mainly upper-middle class and university students -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 08:24 1
  - the university students are currently protesting and getting pounded by the Army and the winners supporters (hard liners, alot of rural people) -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 08:25
- The elections have pretty much been laughed at as fraudulent - Will Hunting Jun 15, 08:24 17
  - but at the end of the day - as per the last 30 years - the ayatollahs will decide the outcome. - mafic Jun 15, 08:37 12

      - Taking sides in an Iranian election. What could possibly go wrong? -- nm - con_carne Jun 15, 08:49
      - And mobilize the hardliners even moreso? - Will Hunting Jun 15, 08:44 7

        Any involvement would be seen as proof of the hard-liners' accusation that the opposition campaign was a western-funded plot. -- nm - znufrii Jun 15, 08:50 5

        YOu're not recognizing the reality of the audience over there. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 15, 09:14

        It is, if it only serves to make things worse. - znufrii Jun 15, 09:01
        
        Does anyone here think Obama's supporting the Iranians oppression? - Will Hunting Jun 15, 08:55
    - "It works on any Ayatollah: Ayatollah Nakhbadeh, Ayatollah Zahedi...even as we speak, Ayatollah Razmada and his cadre of fanatics are consolidating - prayformojo Jun 15, 08:42 1
      - Disco Stu doesn't advertise. -- nm - Reagen Jun 15, 08:48
  - Some of the state by state results are apparently about as plausible as "McCain wins Hawaii with 80%, Obama fourth behind Nader and Buchanan". -- nm - Reagen Jun 15, 08:26 1
    - heh. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 15, 08:30
  - Of course it is a sham. They did not win 99.9 percent of the vote! -- nm - zombie Saddam Hussein Jun 15, 08:26 1
    - Kim Jong Il laughts at your 99.9%. -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 08:27
If they can't get the Army to back them, better off giving up now. -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 08:18 1
- Yeah, I hope it doesn't turn into a Tiamennan Square massacre -- nm - amoxy Jun 15, 08:30
I love when a plan implodes so spectacularly. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 15, 08:16
When the "Supreme Leader" is asking questions, you know he's worried. - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 15, 08:12 3
- the whole thing is weird. The Presidency is sort of figureheady, so I can't understand why the Supreme Council would even concern itself with rigging - Reagen Jun 15, 08:16 2
  - Agreed, as far as I see, what the supreme leader says, goes -- nm - amoxy Jun 15, 08:26 1
    - but if he loses, then they might have to rethink their Israeli policies, then their UYS relations etc, is how I think they see it -- nm - Beaker Jun 15, 08:28
