Iran's Election

The elections for President of Iran are going to happen on June 12. And there are some very interesting events happening as the election heats up.

First off, there seems to be a real positive, grassroots democracy that is springing forth in Iran. Iranians are listening to live debates on TV between the candidates. And just like in America, the candidates are ripping each other apart with accusations of lying, cheating and stealing money to benefit their families. That appears to be a huge step toward democracy....which may be a huge step towards peace and prosperity.

Mr. Ahmadinejad's statements below are to be expected;

Mr. Ahmadinejad has shocked the public with what he calls "courageous revelations" alleging that his rivals and some of the highest-ranking clerics are corrupt and that their children and associates benefit from embezzlement and fraud.

But what his opponents are saying is very encouraging...because it is the truth;

Messrs. Mousavi and Karroubi have countered by calling the president and his circle "delusional fanatics" who have ruined Iran's economy and international standing.
"We are up against a person who says black is white and four times four equals five. He looks into the camera and lies with self-confidence," said Mr. Mousavi, alluding to the president's appearance in a live televised debate Sunday night with Mr. Karroubi. "There is nothing worse than when a government lies to its own people."

However, this paragraph struck me as potentially prophetic;

"We are tired of insecurity and tension," said Sheyda Javaheri, 25-year-old who turned up for Mr. Mousavi's rally in the city of Karaj, waving green flags and posters. "Like the American people, we want change."

Did you catch that? They want change....just like Obama has delivered to us. But what if the change is actually a change for the worse?....just as it has been for America...?
