[goldstategop]

The late Ayatollah Khomeini agreed to a democratic facade because he realized Iranians did not get rid of the Shah simply to live under another despotic regime. After 24 years, the mullahs have created an Iran even more repressive and as socially backward than the country was under the Shah, except they have a will to power and they're not afraid of facing a bloodbath to keep it. The Islamic Revolution and everything since then has shown a regard for human life is their last concern. They are willing to let innocent Iranians die than allow a renewal of friendly relations between Iran and Israel. And of course, they are unwilling to allow the people of Iran to have real freedom at home.

Like you I fear that the people will be fooled into participating in these socalled elections.

Do you think the people of Iran will see through the scam?

[Pro-Bush]

In the past few hours, around 80% of the so-called reformists have been banned from taking part in these elections as candidates.

What are the reformers going to do about this?

[AdmSmith]

What will happen if the Ministry of Interior (if they are reesponsible for the election) publish lists of all candidates and say that the voters can vote for any candidate on this list?

They will then count all votes and publish the result.

If the mullahs do not accept the outcome and try to exclude any elected MP the theocracy will self-destruct and you will get rid of them, if they accept the election you will have a velvet revolution like the one in Georgia.

The time is NOW !

My thoughts are with you, as things heat up in Iran. Change is coming.

[WOSG]

First it is a marvelous that you are fighting for your rights and freedoms and democracy. You are on the Front Lines of freedom!

Why not follow the steps of succesful 'people's revolutions' where you simply have a National Strike? Look at how Serbia and recently Georgia resolved itself. The election is such a turning point. Anything that forces the Guardian Council to back down would indicate the ability to project power, which will 'break the back' of the tyranny (which survive through fear alone).

And if as you say this 'crisis' is manufactured by the Mullahs, take it as an opportunity to "crack" the Theocracy by turning the crisis into a platform for your demands. This is how the 1989 student strike developed in Peking - it started with an argument over the removal of some 'reformist' Communists (like with Iran, it was a facade in a corrupt dictatorship, but ...). The students, by the end of the process, when they were finally brutally repressed, were demanding full democracy and freedom. (Hopefully, such protects in Iran wont end in the same way because you have more of the people sick of the regime.)

Your demand should be very very simple and easy for all the people to agree with:

Abolish the Governing Council. Have a real multi-party Parliametary System

Rather than boyott elections demand a right for the question of the existence of the governing council to be on the ballot.

Easy for me to advise from my comfortable place, but if you want to end tyranny, you will have to fight for it in the streets.
