Street scenes from Tehran, history in the balance
Something’s happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear.
It could end with a new government in Iran, or it could end as Tianamen Square ended, with large-scale government violence and longterm repression of the passions being expressed here. Even for someone thousands of miles away, with no idea of what the chants mean, the scene is inspiring.

The Mad Mullahs haven’t butchered all of their opponents yet, apparently.
Anyone heard from Mousavvi? I ain’t talking about his spokesman.
Funny, when the Lebanese people had their little revolution a few years back, I clearly remember the libs at the Urinal being quite annoyed by it all, when Syria finally broke it up, only then did the AJC get happy.
Oh yeah, I forgot, Obozo wasn’t president then.

“I too find this inspiring. Too bad our President apparently doesn’t.”
That’s kind of a cheap shot, even for you. How do you know he doesn’t? Just because he hasn’t had a Rose Garden speech where he declares the elections invalid? Then you’d be on here griping because he apparently doesn’t like democracy.

I posted in an earlier thread that our Secretary of State and by extension, her boss, were pathetic for their spineless response to this situation.
It is apparent to me that they do not want democracy to take root in Iran or any other Middle Eastern country, perhaps socialism wouldn’t take hold in the US if there were too many scenes of freedom flashing across the TV screen, who knows?
There is nothing inspiring about the tragedy unfolding before us.

The unreality in which he US government operates is beyond belief. A bankrupt government that cannot pay its bills without printing money is rushing headlong into wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. According to the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Analysis, the cost to the US taxpayers of sending a single soldier to fight in Afghanistan or Iraq is $775,000 per year!
Obama’s war in Afghanistan is the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. After seven years of conflict, there is still no defined mission or endgame scenario for US forces in Afghanistan. When asked about the mission, a US military official told NBC News, “Frankly, we don’t have one.” NBC reports: “they’re working on it.”

RW, did you or that Newbusters short-bus guy ever bother to contemplate why the MSM’s coverage is so sucky?
This might provide some of the answer.
Or, as Digby put it, whence that link came:
if the elections were not a planned occurrence we wouldn’t have any media in the country at all. The major TV networks have almost no international bureaus anymore, pooling their resources in London and sending out correspondents to act as individual news gathering machines, one-man or woman networks without the benefit of producers or editorial desks. This allows for a bit more flexibility, but also flattens the landscape so that the news-gathering capabilities of established media differ in no legitimate respect from a native speaker with a Twitter account or a Facebook page. It’s not that the tweeters have ascended into the media stratosphere, it’s that the traditional media has descended into the depths.

You may want to look up the definition of “apparently” and then revisit your remark to me, but I won’t hold mt breath waiting for you to do that. In fact I won’t even be here since the forest beckons.
Besides with Obama out selling socialized medicine and North Korea threatening nuclear war, using as justification their claim that the US is stockpiling nukes in South Korea and Japan, I think the Iran protests may be interesting, but they’re more of a sideshow to those developments. Of course that’s why Iran has become the non stop topic of discussion here.

America’s back is about to break. And since the US consumer has been carrying the Asian economies, that means a world wide recession at best, and a depression as the worst case (but not necessarily unlikely) scenario. China is not going to “decouple” from the US and suddenly have enough consumer demand to see this through, especially not when they also have out of control inflation and massive exposure to the bad debt. The production that does sell to the US is the margin that makes for the explosive economic growth, and when it’s gone, so goes the Chinese economy.
This is also going to be true pretty much everywhere else, including Japan (whose free money policy was responsible for the Yen carry trade and thus much of the financial bubble), India and the Asian tigers.
And what happens when your back breaks? You become a cripple. The US has lived far beyond its means, on borrowed money, for some time. Rather than either trying to fix the problem, or trying to adjust slowly to reduced circumstances, America is now in danger of having to adjust in one abrupt, sickening crash–from 100 mph to 0–courtesy of hitting a brick wall while Bernanke’s foot is on the accelerator, with Congress’s foot jammed on top for good measure, as it approves huge amounts of stimulus by way of “war funding.”>

Unfortunately, one of the 4 candidates, and an anti-Ahmadinejad candidate as well, with strong ties to the military, ran with no expectations of winning at all, but ran in order to have observers in every polling place and his campaign has asserted that there was no sign of vote suppression or rigging noted by his own observers. Mohsen Rezaie, was running for the sole purpose of getting Ahmadinejad out, and there were no problems until the Moussavi campaign started becoming aware that they were falling behind as votes started coming in from outside of Tehran and the other large cities. Rezaie’s observers were posted in the polling places and the observers were equipped with cellphone cameras to take photos of any attempts at vote suppression or vote rigging, and so far none of the observers have brought forth any photographs of any of the supposed attempts to prevent voters from voting or any other methods of rigging the votes.
The other candidate, Mehdi Karroubi, did the same as did Moussavi’s campaign itself and while they are all crying foul, none of their observers have come forth with any evidence using their well tested means of observing voter fraud. Moussavi and Karroubi were threatening to seize power by “non-democratic means” before the election if the elections did not turn out as they wanted them to, in speeches they were giving in Iran, and having printed in their own political media. The media heavy complaints were also planned before the election if the results were not to their liking. This was reported in the Washington Post on the day of the election, but not as a front page story.
What happened on the 12th:
Ahmedinejad, Mousavi, Karroubi and former Revolutionary Guard commander Mohsen Rezai — can post one observer at each of the polling booths.
There are 45,713 polling booths. Once the votes are counted and recorded at the stations, under the oversight of the observers, the numbers will be passed to the capitals of each of Iran’s 30 provinces, where each candidate is again allowed to post an election monitor while votes are counted there.
The three candidates who were running against Ahmadinejad formed their own committee and co-ordinated their own observers, and were present while the votes in each polling station were counted.

So much for paying to see anymore of their next movies.., or any other politically active hollywood types. I just can’t get past those big forehead bumper stickers to actually see them ACTING as someone else.

“Apparently, if there are three of you!”
Yeah, I bet that mountain lion was thinking “why are these rats attacking me?” But actually, from the description…it sounds like they didn’t actually get close to him.

Bush and Cheney were itching to take Iran out but as I remember it, a whole bunch of liberals wigged out at the very idea, whining and moaning like a bunch of sissies.
You reap what you sow, cowards.

Wow. Those Chihuahuas? That’s guy-with-shopping-bags-against-PRC-tank courage, that is.
That’s Jimmy Carter wrecking-ball sized balls.
(Even if they’re neutered.)
Great story. Great inspiration. Together, we can do amazing things.

“why are these rats attacking me?”
Fair point. Predators don’t swing at change-ups, so to speak.
I guess the takeaway here is, throw a changeup when the situation calls for it, you never know if you’ll get that double-play ball…

we all owe President Bush a great deal of thanks.
I owe that man a bladder emptied on his grave. Nothing more.
(If I ever learn of your final resting place, Wyld, I’ll be sure to consecrate it similarly. Open wide!)

“If the walls come a tumblin’ down, we all owe President Bush a great deal of thanks”
“Bush and Cheney were itching to take Iran out but as I remember it, a whole bunch of liberals wigged out at the very idea, whining and moaning like a bunch of sissies”
Did someone mess up and send out conflicting talking points faxes?

Barry’s stimuli was temporary…now the true factors that rule the markets begin to inch back into place. Lettuce enjoy the stagflation thats to come.
Seems Barry wasted lots of cash saving GM, Chrylser and Ford…OH MY!

Wyld Byll,
You’ve got to be kidding. If Imanutjob goes down, you’re giving credit to Bush? You really are a fool. Obama will have done it without firing a shot or a single soldier dying.
RealityKing,
Here’s a reality check. Obama didn’t cause the stock market to tank. It was you and your wingnuts pulling your money out of it. Give credit where credit is due (actually blame).

Good grief! It’s already been brought down. He’s trying to rebuild it, but it’s going to be hard with the likes of you and unReality refusing to participate.
