by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Mon Feb 08, 2010 07:30 AM PSTI am not sure what you mean. It sounds like some round about way of defending the IRR. Listen: IRR is not a democracy. It has had democratic moments in the past but on a whole it is a theocracy. You can look up the definition if you like. Since last summer it became a military dictatorship.
In Iran there is an unelected parallel government made of up Mullahs. They get veto power over legislation and pick candidates for offices. No one may run for office without the blessing of them. Sounds to me like "Democratic Republics" of Soviet era. Now if you call that a democracy then that is your business.
In IRR the final power is in the hands of VF. He is supposed to be god's voice on Earth!! That is a democracy to you?? Please read up on things before you comment.
People don't want the status quo and I support them. It will be up to them to judge the Mullahs.
The Truth is Painful
by AlexInFlorida on Mon Feb 08, 2010 01:47 AM PSTMonarchy is the worst form of government for Iranians, except for all others.
Since in Iran it has been proven that monarchy approaches both
freedom and the democratic ideal far better than democracies... as we
see in Iran under the shah vs islamic republic.
This is a Painful Truth for pro-democrats, to accept that the
islamic republic is a democratic reality that the majority wanted and
brought it about.
Democratic governments do not guarantee freedom, in fact it is a
false belief that democracy and freedom go hand in hand and can only
come about by looking at selective evidence and not the entirity of
data across the pages of history.
Islamic Republic as most people know is more democratic than even
the state of Israel. Unlike Iran, Israel was brought about by only
considering the views of the jews and not all the people living in the
area.
At least Islamic republic was created by the democratic principal of
majority rule while allowing all the various views to be represented.
The democratic Islamic Republic is however a tyranny since it's
inception until today, unlike Israel which does provide Freedom for
Jews.
What the Green movement does not address, because most Iranians are
not conscious of, is that Iranians want Freedom more than democracy,
the kind of freedom they enjoyed for the first time from the Shahs
era. Iranians tell their children how much better life was in the
hands of the shah and his team and they miss this very much within
Iran.
And in a perfect world Iranians would want both freedom and
democratic government, but at a gradual pace that is relavent to the
possiblities of the iranian people, while not sacrificing their
Freedom. Today they don't even have freedom to go to the next step.
And that is what they are lacking, Freedom, the ability to have
choices without coercion, manipulation and deceit. Real choices
however unappealing that will enhance ones life, not undermine it.
To think that Iranians blew away the Shah that worked his entire
life to bring them Freedom that they had not enjoyed before, to the
point where unlike 95% of the world in 1983 Iranians would have enjoyed
guaranteed health care, education and employment or government
assistance if no work could be found is shocking. I live in America
and we don't have Freedom that good.
I hope people learned that Revenge is not so delicious. And that
true success is learning to enjoy life and not feeling inadequate
because some people are becoming extremely rich and then being
vindictive, mean and nasty.
people had enough of you Kaftars
by cyclicforward on Sun Feb 07, 2010 08:06 PM PSTFor thirty years Iranian put up with every nonsense you put in front of them. War, sanctions, your Basij, your police and your president and did not say anything. Now they have had enough and they are going to wash you filth down the sewer where you belong. Iranians will build the nation again and will be the center of excellence in a near future.

A Warning to Khamenei

There is a disconnect here.
by Kooshan on Sun Feb 07, 2010 03:13 PM PSTWe have an expression:
"Ageh ye javaldooz be digaraan mizani, ye soozan ham be khodet bezan"
For some reason, they think that only people should sacrifice and shut up eventhough hokoomat is not perfect. I do not understand why for a change, hokoomat does not want to pay a price to unite Iranian people by ousting many of the controversial figures and policies!!

Taa Khar Hast -- Khar Savar Hast
by Bahram G on Sun Feb 07, 2010 11:02 AM PSTI heard this years ago from a disillusioned old lady. She was referring to the fact that for as long as people give rides, there will always be those who would ride them. Or as long as people are not thinking, there are those who would take advantage of them.
And now, the akhoonds are hopefully beginning to realize that they had taken the Iranian people for fools for far too long and the people are saying no more rides for AMMAMEH PARASITES. I hope enough people actually say that and dislodge these shameless riders off their backs. Yet, I am afraid that these hypocrites have had it so good for so long that they won't get off easily.
We the people must shove them off. No, no more free rides to parasites and no more blood to lice and licey akhoonds.
well said Bahram
by gitdoun ver.2.0 on Sun Feb 07, 2010 10:33 AM PSTmy thoughts exactly !!! the mullahs do have a great setup. Money in their pockets, best health-care in the country with not a worry on their minds. " Plz people don't spoil our parade ! let's have another 30 year Mullah rule!!! Let's have more lawyers and pharmacists working as taxi drivers !!! Look at my ammameh !!! God told me this personally !!!" -kashani
Desperate
by mahmoudg on Sun Feb 07, 2010 09:29 AM PSTThey know the end is near and I agree they will try force, nationalism and any and all tactics in between to keep their cling to power. Too little too late. Thirty years of despotism is over with.
Can't blame him
by Bahram G on Sun Feb 07, 2010 08:54 AM PSTThese gorbehaye morteza ali really like it the way it is. They are begging the fed up Iranian people not to spoil the great ride they are having on the back of the long-suffering people. They just like the ride. They will appeal, they will use force, they do anything to keep the good thing they have going.
Shame on akhoonds. May they join the rest of hard-working Iranians and do a day's work for a day's wages and stop sucking the anemic blood of the people. in zalloha raa baayad az badane mardom joda kard. be omid on rooz.
