I don't know what to laugh at first - that Rafsanjani is being put forward as a Reformist/moderate now, (is there a maximum number of people that you're allowed to imprison, torture or kill before you can't wear that label?) or the last couple of paragraphs about the election process itself. (should it be computerized or manual - LoL - like it makes a difference as to whom the regime chooses to be the winners?)

What this whole "reformist-moderate coalition" is though, is another IRI diversion/stall tactic and carrot for the Iranian people and the outside world. First, it makes no difference who gets 'elected', the Supreme Leader makes all the final decisions, but the idea of moderates and reformists sure sounds more hopeful, doesn't it? And secondly, it gives all the countries an excuse to wait even longer before taking action against Iran - more time, just what the regime wants.

So, I hope anyone with 1/2 a brain (and I include the leftists and liberal democrats in this catagory) can see thru this ruse and just ignore it. Though in their cases, I doubt that will happen. So I hope the President and this Administration are wise enough to do so, and follow the instructions: " Nothing to see here, move along."

There won’t be elections in Iran next March, at least THEY won’t be a part of it.

Unfortunately, there are many of our ‘Conservative’ compatriots (most notably Charles Krauthammer and Condi&the State Department) that have swallowed whole the ‘moderates in Iran’ myth, hoping to be rescued from having to face and support the inevitable difficult and risky confrontation....

Voting age at 15??? Boy, if they could do that here the Dems would win every election. That’s if the could get them away from their video games long enough to vote.
