Wouldn’t you know it. The one person who made the ‘king” look bad in Iran is now under house arrest!……
From DailyKos:
Update II: Pyknet: Mousavi has been place under house arrest. He was arrested on his way to Khamenei’s house. All communication has been shut off. Khamenei has issued a statement claiming that HE that he is leading this coup to SAVE the Islamic Government (Nezam)
Geeeeee, and we wonder why the Iranians want CHANGE! Jees.
Rep. Alan Grayson's response to Sarah Palin saying he should be voted out of office:
"I look forward to an honest debate with Governor Palin on the issues, in the unlikely event that she ever learns anything about them"

"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960
Lets see the neo-cons wanted to attack Iraq in 1998, they said so in the PNAC crap they pushed.
So they helped the stupid bush STEAL and election in Florida 2000 (and Ohio 2004) and got their war in 2003 till now.
Now the main brain-dead neo-cons wanna attack Iran, and they needed Ahmadinejad to win to help facilitate that, so strange things are happening in that election which sorta mirror some of the stranger things from 2000 and 2004 here. Will they get their next neo-con war from a stolen election?
Only the AIPAC neo-con crowd knows for sure.
Exactly Clif! The American Taliban (today’s GOP), the PNAC (made up of members of the American Taliban), and the Zionists all want Ahmadinejad to win, because with him in power the Middle East will remain in unrest, which is exactly the kind of thing that is profitable for those who make billions/trillions from illegal wars! Expect Israel to launch a bomb into Iran now. They want war. The young people of Iran do not. I feel bad for them, because they’ve wanted a voice for so long!!!!!!!!!!! They love Americans too. Shit! What the hell!!!
Another hard line right wing fundamentalist religious hate filled group decided they know best for everyone,
The Iranian hardliners, not the Fundis on the reich here this time.
Funny how eerily similar they really are in the way they repress people and act to guarantee they always “win”, so they can shove their narrowe minded thought processes down everyones throats.
Clif, it truly is scary how the Fundies are the same everywhere on the planet.
And Ali if you’re for real (not a troll), we understand your concern! Let’s hope the young Iranians (and the women! Man, they were in the streets too! Love them) continue to put pressure on their government. Would be a good thing for sure.
I am so sorry for myself that I thought there will be a change when khamenei is in the power
I am a persian guy in iran and I have got news about mousavi winning but the liers the animals the fighters against freedom (khamenei & ahmadinijad ) cheat us
I never elect anyone in iran so far
Both Ahmadinejad & mousavi are imposters and none would make any change due to their dark political history. I don’t understand how people get deceived so easily by their lies! they’re all using you to reach power, that’s all!
All that matters is what the Iranian people think, right?
Are you the same Mehdi who used to post from Iraq at Never Give Up and Alternet? If so, I enjoyed reading your perspective from the ground in the ME. Also enjoyed the postings from Riverbend who posted at those sites, also.
