Iran's Election

We would like to believe that when Iranian's go to the polls in a few days that they would be able to, "throw the bums out!"....kind of like we do in America every so often. Sadly, that will not be the case. According to the Wall Street Journal article, only candidates approved by the Mullah's were allowed to stand for election. So your choice for president will be; a) Ahmadinejad, b) someone exactly like Ahmadinejad, or c) someone almost exactly like Ahmadinejad.

Mr. Ahmadinejad is widely expected to win. But the guy running in second, Razaie, doesn't sound like a prince either.

Mohsen Rezaie, 55, is a former commander of the Revolutionary Guards. He is subject to an international arrest warrant issued by the Argentine government in connection with the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires which killed 85 people and injured 151.

Sounds like another guy who doesn't like Jews!

Obama might still be hopeful that his charm in charisma and smooth words will help to turn the corner concerning Iranian relations....but it sounds like he should plan for more rude behavior coming from Iran...no matter who wins.
