Ahmadinejad's results were not exactly surprising as Iran has a a firm hold on its people through intimidation and brutality.
But I am surprised at how many people have protested at the obviously 'set' results. They have taken an unprecedented brave stand against a brutal regime that is controlled by extremists.

So....it is not surprising that the new Ayatollah is backing Ahmadinejad as that means that the extremists are still in control. And how predictable that religion again shows how brainwashing it is; as you see grown men crying in front of the Ayatollah after he has purposely mentioned his age and failing health to deviously get sympathy and therefore backing for the cause.

The protestors have been warned that they face Guns, batons and 'Bicycle' chains should they be seen anywhere tomorrow. That alone shows what a barbaric and unfair regime this is. It is also an omen of what is to follow from this central core of extremism to the rest of the World.

Isnt it time we realised that all religions are political parties in disguise but with far greater powers than the transparent ones ? Here if you dont do as your told, Jesus,God or Allah will punish you. How very convenient.

Reminds me of that other 'holy' man Ayatollah Khomeini.....and we all know what happened when he was given free rein. Thousands got murdered.

Good luck to the protesters...they will need it with such a volatile religion..

If Iran was to be invaded, surely now is the time, with the country massively divided ?

Keep a careful eye on this as it may mean the end of a Dynasty of rule from the Ayatollahs, if the protestors continue despite horrific consequences.
