Iran- breaking the chains of enslavement! The democratic system of Iran under mullahs is fascist.

Iranian Mullahs fail to understand that enrichment of Iranians minds through freedom, trust and respectability is far more important a tool for progress than enrichment of Uranium. They are engaged in wrong battles, leading their nations towards confrontation that only a self-destruct leadership can engineer. Let them look around and learn few lessons from the Iraqi referendum and recent Afghanistan’s democratic ballot are a turning point in the annals of regional geopolitics. Let them study the admirable conduct of another Shiite scholar Sistani who accommodated minorities within Iraq through his quietism.

The elections in these two nations where ballot boxes were alien to the populace are a distinctive new start. Nation building cannot commence without free minds; ballot boxes alone where choices are limited to the hurdles of ideology are the failure of concept of free will. Iranians have had several elections since the inception of Islamic revolution but none are credible for a simple reason. The elected are scrutinised by a council of guardians who attest the holiness and piety of the candidate. Once the candidates are rubber stamped by very ‘unholy’ to be ‘holy’ they are considered sanctified and become a part of the democratic circus. How can such a group of elected representative overthrow a system that has bred them and sanctified them? Elections in Iran are sham elections although widely participated. An exemption from participation kills the concept of free will. In Iraq and Afghanistan that kind of obstacle did not exist. In Iran that produced 'Ahmedinejad' the whole thing's a joke. It's not democracy. It's a sham. There were over a thousand candidates that were registered. Out of the thousand they ended up with eight candidates, all pro-mullah candidates, maybe with only inconsequential variation of personality trait. Some more fatter others leaner but meaner. A free election ensures universal participation of candidates, in Iran the candidate's had to be a purified and cleansed.
