It's not that i don;t hope that there's cause for any. I really hope they do get rid of the idiot, they call A'jad (which I think stands for something that won't play out well on a family blog, so I will leave it your imagination.)<br /><br />But the skeptic in me says that there will be a runoff with A'jad and the #2 vote-getter; and the #2 will either mysteriously disappear or will be ruled ineligible to run, due to some late breaking technicality. <br /><br />Again, I hope I am wrong. Not because I cannot stand to be wrong mind you, but because Mustang will never let me live it down.

While living in Paris, we saw Persian kids against the hardcore regimes marching every single night..covereage here? EXTREMELY rare. <br />I happened to meet Kenneth Timmerman, whose career is watching Iran; when I mentioned this and asked about our own media's neglect, he said "YOU know our media.." <br />Well...I wasn't really sure what he meant! But, I guess they don't really want us to know there's hope!? WHY?<br /><br />The generally understood strategy of the Bush admin was to support the people from within, hoping they'd gather enough strength.<br /><br />I don't think the Bushes ever quite understood the real evil and real suppression of islamist hardliners; in Iran OR Iraq. They're both very nice men who I honestly don't understand true evil. A grave misunderstanding on the part of our CIA in Iran working with students and trying to get them shored up is also to blame; it's like our Arabic speaking intel people, for years, are said to have been taught a 'high Arabic' that the man on the street just doesn't speak. How STUPID is that? Talk about a red flag.<br /><br />Yes, Pris...I wish SAM was SOMEWHERE we could see! here, or FPM...Last time he disappeared, he said things were getting VERY tough in Ashraf. He'd begun to fear for his life.
