thank you for being here....and speak...Dear Naj....<br />thank you for being here....and speaking out...you are right the Iranians need to sort out their future....it is in their hands....I don't want to see our country or our leaders interfere in any way....I do support Leaders voicing concern about the violence, again but not to interfere....<br /><br />I do understand that Ahdinejead ( sp) does indeed have supporters...what I truly support is Fair Elections where Votes count..all of them ( and people have a right to always question if they do not feel their Vote was counted...no one should ever wonder where their vote is and was it counted...as someone that was purged here in 2000, and 2004,.....there is nothing worse ....so I understand why the Iranians are peacefully protesting....)<br /><br />In today's post up above I linked to what you said because you said it beautifully....I can not imagine what it would be to see this going on in my country....it is a tense time....<br /><br />I support Change ( and not just in Iran) ....but ...and it is a BIG BUT....but only if the people there want Change and are feeling hopeful....and optimistic and that 80% came out to vote....The Change must always come from Within...and not be effected or driven from the outside....<br /><br />But you also know me...I will blog it ..and I am especially worried about the people having a Voice and Freedom of the press, and that their Human Rights are at stake....<br /><br />I do admire the Courage and Bravery that the Iranians are showing....so my prayers go to them..and your country....( as I said...Tank Man Courage is a rare beautiful thing....)<br /><br />namaste....enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-19516696130083547852009-06-16T19:46:02.278-04:002009-06-16T19:46:02.278-04:00Enigma ... thanks for all this ... all i, as an ir...Enigma ... thanks for all this ... all i, as an iranian can ask my american friends is to make sure no one uses ANY OF THIS as a pretext to launch war with Iran, EVEN IF Ahmadinejad gets elected ... you know that there is an important assembly that is reviewing the vote process ... this is in their power ...<br /><br />I als want to express my position: Ahmadinejad DOES have supporters, and no not all of them are rural ... for instance Ahmadinejad has been very good to Iranian expat scientists ... it is not like 70 million people in Iran hate him, and not all those who support him are fascists ... bu tthe problem with all this is that he has become the poster boy for a group of fascists who are beating up students ... no one knows who is commanding them, really ...<br /><br />Anyways, IRanisns need to sort this out ... as long as US and EU govenments keep a distance, this will find its own way in historyNajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728668942925956610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-67931913581376368112009-06-16T09:59:10.149-04:002009-06-16T09:59:10.149-04:00Walking man,...

Hardliner Mohsen Rezai came in fourth with 3.7 million votes.<br /><br />The extent of the fraud in the Iranian election was demonstrated on the evening of the election when the Iranian electoral commission declared the exact result approximately 5 minutes after polling booths had closed. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps has many as a million Iranians have protested the fraud since that time, in what some are suggesting is the biggest uprising in Iran since the 1979 revolutionenigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15374623.post-26148053463651484632009-06-15T15:25:14.567-04:002009-06-15T15:25:14.567-04:00this is a test message...have not been able to pos...this is a test message...have not been able to post messages...enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.com
