Bill Clinton stated that Ahmadinejad's behavior may be just youthful excess and at any rate it depends on what one's interpretation of assassinate is.
Look closely. A real "Great Satan" leads Iran.
"Read his biography"
I read it before he became the president. None of this is news to me. He's an avid dissident hunter and murderer.

I've been to that site, thanx.
Please be advised that 'Iran Focus' is a front group/website for MEK, a State Dept. FTO. (Foreign Terrorist Org.)
They have their own agenda against the Iranian regime, and the information on their site is usually exaggerated and can be false. They are the ones that first posted the suspected (and incorrect) Ahmadinejad photo, though it did lead to people observing the other man in the photo, suspected of being Ahmadinejad.
thanks - some of the referring sites were okay,m I didn't flip to all -
did you see the link to the sites about the
"Islamic Council Demands a seat on the UN's permanent Council"?
'Since Muslims constitute 20% of the world's population, they should be accorded a seat....'
Feh.
This guy gets around.
Yes, I've read about that. It's CAIR's big issue.
I agree. I'm sure there were some irregularities, but I don't think it was fixed. It's kind of hard to fake a landslide like that. The fact that there isn't a national uproar leads me to think that's it's a legitimate result.
Saddam won in a landslide, and there was no uproar...
But there were consequences to be had for voting against Saddam.
"was the election fixed? I haven't heard any evidence that it was"
And the elections are never fixed in Cuba.
Read more. Go thru the archives here and on Google. Listen to what Condi Rice and the President have said. The only people saying it wasn't fixed, are Khamenei and his devout followers, Castro, Chavez, ..... I think you get the picture.
He looks exactly like an Irainian who was in my Thermo Class in 1980. I'm certain it was him.
Saddam never had an opponent and won 99%. These elections though imperfect were open. Khatami's win in 1997 was a big shock, so the claims of fraud are weakened here. If the Iranian people are going to accept the election, as they have done so, then your indignity regarding the result is misplaced.
"Saddam never had an opponent and won 99%."
That's the point.
"These elections though imperfect were open. "
Oh yeah, Iran, big shining example of 'democracy.'
"Khatami's win in 1997 was a big shock, so the claims of fraud are weakened here."
Uh-hunh.
Just like the dead voting out west makes it unlikely to happen again.
"If the Iranian people are going to accept the election, as they have done so, then your indignity regarding the result is misplaced."
The Iranian students spoke up for more freedoms, and got crushed.
YOUR attempts to 'ho-hum' things are more than a disgrace.
Iranian student blogs have been shut down, students have been arrested, and guess what, people have died over there.
What is your agenda?
A hardline backlash is not a surprising result, considering that we referred to them as members of the Axis of Evil and are harping on them on the nuclear issue. Watch what you wish for regarding democracy. The Iranian people overhelmingly want to have nukes.
If you seriously think that "Death to America" Iran is capable of honest elections when ruled by a thugocracy, you are in pretty bad shape.
Interesting that you could think it through about Khadaffi.

Apparently in your eyes Iran is no longer crazy and not on the list of bad guys, all over an election that has a hard liner in office.
Why are you thinking of Iran through Carter's eyes?
