[FREE IRAN Project] In The Spirit Of Cyrus The Great

[Rasker]

Bloggers react to the regime's sham (s)elections -

As you all already know, the "Supreme leader" Khamenei has selected and chosen the new "president of Iran" : Ahmadinejad - As our dear Iranian friend and blogger Lilit has wrote today ( http://lilit.ilcannocchiale.it/?id_blogdoc=561656 ) , nothing will change for Iranians inside and outside. Maybe now Europe will realize that it's time to isolate the regime. If that happens, the increasing popular unrest, along with increased international isolation of the regime, will bring the regime close to an end.

June 24, 2005: We have a winner in Iran, ladies and gentlemen...

And he is... Hardliner Ahamdinejad!... (give the man a round of applause)... Of course Reuters wants us to be alarmed.

<Ultra-conservative Tehran mayor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad swept to victory in Iran's presidential election on Saturday, an official said, spelling a possible end to fragile social reforms and rapprochement with the West.>

What reforms and what rapprochement exactly? Only the fuddy-duddies at Reuters (and maybe a handful in our State Dept.) could believe that even existed.

Anyway, as Brother Ledeen points out, hardly anyone voted... not that that would occur to Reuters. First hand reporting is not their long suit. Just, you know, round up a few quotes from the usual suspects and phone it in. They don't even bother to check the blogs.

June 23, 2005: The Wooly Bully Revisited

Did Iran break the US election laws? The Washington Times thinks so. The Iranian Student Movement is warning us to watch for "pro-Rafsanjani forces" here in the US. And Dr. Zin has a message to bloggers that makes sense.

"Hardliners" Win Sham Election

A tragic joke, aided and abetted by mainstream media: Hardline Mayor Wins Iran Presidential Race.

Iranians Boycott Run-Off Vote

Here’s another must-read post from Publius Pundit, a round-up of the truth about the Iranian sham elections—that the Iranian public again boycotted the “run-off” voting, even as the majority of world media reported otherwise:
