Ahmedinijad was leading in the polls prior the elections, and all indicators are that he won a significant majority - so why are the people protesting ?
Well over 60% of total US expenditure is on domestic and foriegn propaganda aimed at regime change - the name of this is CIA.
You have huge protests supporting Ahmadinijad - where is the coverage of this ?
I can not believe what I am watching, I can not believe that people are falling for the same trick again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again - when will you wake up!?
However, if you can provide proof to back-up your claim that the Twitter messages are originating from the CIA, then I will change my mind.
SLAMABAD (AP) — A citizens' militia trying to drive out the Taliban killed seven militants in a two-hour clash in Pakistan's troubled northwest, police said Sunday, as the president claimed the entire country backs the battle against the extremists.
Ejaz Ahmed, police chief in the Upper Dir region, said another militant was wounded in the fighting late Saturday night near the village of Patrak, about four miles (seven kilometers) east of Dir Khas, the region's main town and district headquarters.
Several civilian militias, known as lashkars, have emerged in Upper Dir since a suicide bombing on a mosque two weeks ago that was blamed on the Taliban killed at least 33 people. The militias carry out patrols and have been pursuing remnants of Taliban who had tried to expand their influence into the area.

Iran is no Paradise I think their people are tired of the BS and I pray they are safe.
I think there is no one that can deny that statement is true.
I think it's a statement in many parts...
Iran is no paradise - that's for sure. Although there have been many positive changes over the past few decades, things like insisting women wear traditional clothing is getting more strict. Go to Iran in the 70s and women wore western clothes everywhere in public. But that's not to say it's all bad.
Tired of all the BS? When will Americans get tired of all the BS? Seriously, I admire the Iranian people because when they smelt a fraud, they actually got organised, and are trying to do something about it. When Bush did the same in his first term, everyone got upset, but nobody did anything about it. Michael Moore made a doco about it, but just to make another million or so dollars. Heck, the fact that his doco has been played on Fox, which is one of the stations he blames with making the initial false reports, should be ironic enough that people will slap their foreheads in disbelief!
Pray that they are safe - absolutely. This is part of why I think the west needs to keep the military out, and keep Israel on a leash. 1 million dead Iraqi's are enough justification for my thoughts here. If you don't agree, that's fine. But for me, it's enough.
Looks - let's think about it for a minute. For decades the world was terrified at the thought of India and Pakistan owning nuclear weapons. But what has happened since? Absolutely nothing. The situation in Mumbai had nothing to do with that - that was aimed at western society.
So even if Iran WAS trying to make a nuke, why would the situation be any different? What we DON'T need is the western media trying to justify 'preliminary' strikes on Iran, and dehumanising the political situation there to encourage public support for action...

There's one big difference my friend.
All the news the world is hearing is coming FROM THE IRANIAN PEOPLE
Not the media.
The media are being quiet and not showing to much.
This is nothing like Iraq or Georgia, nothing.

The amount of misinformation coming of Iran is staggering. For the last few days I've been on Iranian blogs, forums, and doing what I can for the Iranian people behind this struggle. I've never seen anything like this before. These people know they'll probably be jailed or died (one Iranian woman was talking about how she was going to listen to her favorite music and go to a hair dresser before she went to the protests where she thought she'd be killed) and yet they keep going. But back to my original point, scouring though all the info and chaos of this on the net, it's been crazy to find real info. Also it's been crazy because there's actually Iranian disinfo agents threatening the Iranian people on the net and spreading all kinds of crazy info. This has just been amazing to watch. I really wish I could help more.
