Its obvious this election wasn't fair, but if you look at the past election results , this one is really no different, yet no Iranian, or foreign gov't, otherwise really protested those..so i don't know what to think. The truth is that in any fair democracy a candidate getting above 60% of the vote, especially when more than 2 ppl are running for the same office is just so unlikely that there has to be fraud somewhere...lol
So according to wikipedia (i only list the top 2, but others candidates did run but all got only a few %):
Iran election 2009:
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 62.63%
Mir-Hossein Mousavi 33.75%
Iran election 2005:
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 61.69%
Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani 35.93%
Iran election 2001:
Mohammad Khatami 78.3%
Ahmad Tavakkoli 15.9%
Iran election 1997 :
Mohammad Khatami 70.0%
Ali Akbar Nateq-Nouri ~10%
Iran election 1993:
Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani: 62.9%
Ahmad Tavakkoli: 24.0%
I am not saying that every election in world has to be like America's, that not my point, i understand they're a theocracy and have their own way of doing things, but if you're also going to have the title "republic" in your country's name than a least pretend to have some measure of fair elections...just my thoughts!

"We Believe" A Creed for the Modern World
Creed
by Steve Turner
We believe in Marxfreudanddarwin
We believe everything is OK
as long as you don't hurt anyone
to the best of your definition of hurt,
and to the best of your knowledge.
We believe in sex before, during, and
after marriage.
We believe in the therapy of sin.
We believe that adultery is fun.
We believe that sodomy’s OK.
We believe that taboos are taboo.
We believe that everything's getting better
despite evidence to the contrary.
The evidence must be investigated
And you can prove anything with evidence.
We believe there's something in horoscopes
UFO's and bent spoons.
Jesus was a good man just like Buddha,
Mohammed, and ourselves.
He was a good moral teacher though we think
His good morals were bad.
We believe that all religions are basically the same-
at least the one that we read was.
They all believe in love and goodness.
They only differ on matters of creation,
sin, heaven, hell, God, and salvation.
We believe that after death comes the Nothing
Because when you ask the dead what happens
they say nothing.
If death is not the end, if the dead have lied, then its
compulsory heaven for all
excepting perhaps
Hitler, Stalin, and Genghis Kahn
We believe in Masters and Johnson
What's selected is average.
What's average is normal.
What's normal is good.
We believe in total disarmament.
We believe there are direct links between warfare and
bloodshed.
Americans should beat their guns into tractors .
And the Russians would be sure to follow.
We believe that man is essentially good.
It's only his behavior that lets him down.
This is the fault of society.
Society is the fault of conditions.
Conditions are the fault of society.
We believe that each man must find the truth that
is right for him.
Reality will adapt accordingly.
The universe will readjust.
History will alter.
We believe that there is no absolute truth
excepting the truth
that there is no absolute truth.
We believe in the rejection of creeds,
And the flowering of individual thought.
If chance be
the Father of all flesh,
disaster is his rainbow in the sky
and when you hear
State of Emergency!
Sniper Kills Ten!
Troops on Rampage!
Whites go Looting!
Bomb Blasts School!
It is but the sound of man
worshipping his maker.

Holcaust and Abortion..Difference!!??
A quote from President Obama at the Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony on April 23, 2009.
Obama speaking about Nazi Germany in the 1940s:
"It is the grimmest of ironies that one of the most savage, barbaric acts of evil in history began in one of the most modernized societies of its time, where so many markers of human progress became tools of human depravity: science that can heal, used to kill; education that can enlighten, used to rationalize away basic moral impulses; the bureaucracy that sustains modern life, used as the machinery of mass death, a ruthless, chillingly efficient system where many were responsible for the killing, but few got actual blood on their hands."
Obama's speech is right on.Indeed! My Comment is simply this, now, replace Germany with America, and the Holocaust victims for those who are unborn, and then reread the quote with that idea in mind. Sad and Scary isn't?
In a 100 years, I wonder what History books will say about this time and the whole Abortion movement....
