As just a lowly world person watching the Iranian election, and hoping all votes count, the outcome will be interesting. He looks pretty intimidating. But I am certain, as a religious person, he just was meant to look sweet and friendly – as God people should be, a person owning nothing and giving himself to God in his calling. God is loving. So I know that he was suppose to look loving and we miss it. I just cannot understand this part of the world, in general.

The lying government of the Islamic Dictatorship of Iran will not be successful in preventing the truth from being known. The more they tighten their grip, the more truths will slip through their evil fingers. Their system of government is based on fear, lies, murder, torture, and suppression. The leaders are desperately afraid the truth of their evil will be exposed. It already has been.

The saddest part is that the Iranians did this to themselves. They should serve as an example to other countries. If you give your freedom to a dictator under the disguise of a religion, you may encounter a similar fate.

G, I guess you were watching pay for view cable tv.

Even so, I doubt you were watching a real Iranian erection

You two,...this is too funny.....

Too bad the Iranian "election" led to that little p***k becoming president again...

Maybe they should build a wall around Iran so no one can get in or out!

You know something like the one between the US and Mexico or the one around Israel keeping the Palestains out !

Funny- it was just a few weeks ago I watched a News broadcast of a reporter tagging along with a Iranian school teacher whose second job was installing SatTv systems. He bought the receivers from the Kurds and smuggled them into Iran. He had a local source who made the dishes in a old garage on an antique lathe. He delivered the stuff on his motor bike and installed in the villages-–even the Bedouins were buying them-- no electric, no running water in the homes--sometimes only tents--no permanent house-–but they all had generators to power the satTv and Sat Phones !!!! Pretty hilarious. From the roof top of the taller buildings in the villages--you see hundreds upon hundreds of Sat dishes on the flat rooftops of the homes-from ground level--can't see them.

Police come by daily and take all the stuff they find- then these guys just buy another one next time they have the money.

But they all said the same thing--there are some stations that they don't allow the women to watch-there's only certain stations they permit the women to watch because of "immorality" issues.

John A. – Explain a real Iranian election to me. All countries have their dark eras. I feel like this is one. Human rights matter, male, female, in general. This is not about regimes. It just about each person. Every person should matter. The voices of many are powerful, sad or happy.

In the U.S., we have had our election issues as well. There is never perfection I guess. No one here has ever worried about going to prison for protesting it, contesting it, or mentioning it. I like that fact. We may not be great, but we are kind.

G. -

I thik John A. was just poking a little fun at your Japanese spelling of election in your first post. :)

Well, I think it's a stretch of the imagination to call it an "election" so it seems funny and the spelling appropriate. A little sad, for those in prison or dead, but still the spelling thing is funny. Good to hear from you Barry. Guess this won't be my tourist destination anytime soon. Bummer.

Limiting the flow of communication, in anyway, news reporters, online chat, whatever, is a step forward in today's world? I just find this too old fashioned. In general.

It is about truth, in the end. Everyone sees it a little differently though. I've made my own determination about this truth, but others will make their determination. I always go back to basics.

Japanese spelling? Had to think about that. Never took Japanese. It wasn't an election so just seemed a good spelling. Had to think back through languages then got it – a joke. TOO FUNNY. I must be tired of this whole thing. We all know good and bad. It's too simple. This has always been bad, an erection not election. I don't mean to offend, but let's be real folks. We all know about North Korea and a few other bad countries too. I'm a country girl and I don't mince words a whole lot.

I wonder if Iran really has the ability to listen --and read between the lines!!!

So far they've done nothing but exude arrogance stupidity, violence and hatred for their own people in the aftermath of their "Elections"--if they can really be called that!

President Obama argued Friday that the Group of Eight nations had sent a clear message to Iran: The world will not "wait indefinitely" and allow the country to build nuclear weapons.

Iran and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad should heed the Group of Eight's statement, President Obama says.

"The international community has said, 'Here's a door you can walk through that allows you to lessen tensions and more fully join the international community,' " Obama told reporters at a news conference at the end of the G-8 summit in Italy.

"If Iran chooses not to walk through that door, then you have on record the G-8 to begin with, but I think potentially a lot of other countries, that are going to say, 'We need to take further steps.' "

Latest from Tehran -mass confusion !!!!!

Iran offers G8 new issues to debate

Mottaki said that no new message for Iran had emerged from a summit of G8 leaders

Iran has said it is preparing a new "package of political, security and international issues" to discuss with western powers following an ultimatum from the leaders of the Group of Eight (G8).

Manouchehr Mottaki, Iran's foreign minister, said on Saturday that Tehran had not received "any new message" after a summit of the G8 industrialised nations in Italy this week.

"We have not received any new message from the G8. But based on the news we have received, they had different views on different issues which did not lead to a unanimous agreement in some areas," Mottaki said.

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2009/07/2009711122958862570.html

Translation by Mottaki:

We did not receive any message from the G8.

We don't understand what they said.

Do they want us to stop nuclear enrichment?

Do they not want want us to make a bomb?

We have prepared a new list of requirements for them to agree to before we will talk with them- but it will be the list that we gave in 2008.

Iran attacks Biden's Israel remarks

Biden said the US would not stand in the way of Israel in its dealings with Iran's nuclear ambitions [AFP]

Iran will hold the US responsible for any Israeli attack against the country, Ali Larijani, the speaker of Iran's parliament, has said.

His remarks came after Joe Biden, the US vice-president, said that Washington would not dictate the way Israel deals with Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

"We will consider the Americans responsible in any adventure launched by the Zionist entity," Larijani said in Doha, the capital of Qatar, on Monday during an official visit.

"No politician or person in the world can imagine that the Zionist entity can lead an operation without getting the green light from the United States."

Larijani said the Islamic republic's response to an attack would be "decisive and painful".

See what happens when you take it upon yourself to be the self declared Policeman of the World !!!!

I worry about Iran prisoners becauxe it is a bad place so they have no chance. They are young, and policatical protestors so they will suffer or die. The bad people will get them. Older, like me in the US young people are easy. We are just nice people. There is nice and not nice. That is simplification but true to very basic people. I figure we need to go there. So I am sick and cannot understand the mean places. We had the first nuke weapon. That was because of Hitler. How evil was he? Great people step up in a time of a great challenge. How many people really thing Hitler was anything but evil. That is just stupid; So no one is really stupid. Take your free power and make us all work like dogs, but the world should be even.

iranian elections are the problem of iranian people ... they managed once to do a revolution ... and if they come again together they will do a other revolution... and if not it is only because they dont get together and because they accept what ever is

there is no need for the USA to get involved ... iranians are adult and the USA afte 8 years under the illegal bush regime looks not older then iranians iranians can raise theyr voice after a dictator gained power illegaly ... in opposide to US americans who acceptet corrupte AntiDemocracy for 8 years in the own country

if some one get involved it must be the united nations ... and if they have to get involved iranians should call them seriously

if the USA gets involved in Iran the USA should go at the same time to afgahnistan and korea and iraq and what ever ... until the USA is empty ... so all muslims can move to the USA and do theyr party in hollywood and the USA can stay in the desert and drink the oil

dont you remember israel?
it is for security reason
security reason
security reason

all the anti muslim fascists here did legitimate this kind of restriction allready over 1000 times in the last 100 blogs here

"security"

just simple israel, iran, USA, china... restrictions are for security reason!

maybe if it comes to china or iran you call it censoring and if it comes to USA and israel you call it security reason ... but it is the same

just go some posts back ... sure you will find some 100 legitimations for such restrictions by barry bill carla fippe worldT and so on ... search around january so you will learn why such censorings ... excuse me .. "security" is nessesary

Ital

I am not sure which part of the world you are living in. I suggest you come and live in Iran since according to you there is not much difference with living in US /European countries or Iran and China.

Do you have any idea what we face as human beings. Countries such
as USA have restrictions to " SAVE" their people from harms such as
Sep 11 from outside therorists

Iran & China are killing their own people for wanting "Human Rights".
It is for the purpose of not allowing the Iranian people to know what Democracy means.

They are committing crimes against their own people.

Once again I suggest you move to Iran or China and try living here since you do not think they are that different from US / Europe.

How dare you take the killings of all the young kids that are being tortured, killed, stoned in Iran for just wanting freedom.
We have a Theocratic dictatorship.

Itai,

I'm sure all those in Iran will agree with you that the blocking of internet, telephone, mobile phone, SatTV and media services is all done in an effort to improve "security" !!!!!!
