The hard line of the West has resulted in the recent election of a hard line Iranian as leader. The prevention of something along the lines of 1,400 candidates deemed unacceptable by the mullahs allowed only "hard liners" to run. You, or course, blame that on "the West", and not on the mullahs that banned 99% of the candidates. The people had a choice between a moderate hardliner and a 'strong' hardliner. I agree its not much of a choice but they went for the strong hardliner hook, line and sinker. You see they are worried that the US plans to invade them. So just like in America where the hardliner, GW Bush, got re elected...the Iranians when for their equivalent. Now you can laugh and attack me personally like you are wont to do but its human nature to employ someone who speaks strongly and rattles the saber when there is an enemy lurking in the shadows. Your perspective is a joke. The only joke is you. You are so pathetic I don't why I waste my time returning your posts but its a Sunday nite and I am bored. And as I understand it, the winner won more based on his ability to provide jobs and reduce corruption as mayor of Tehran than on his political ideology. The Iranian people are sick of their leadership. Right. Whenever its convenient, you complain about a censor and limited access to the outside world, but when it comes to knowing what's going on Iran, I bet you know every detail including how many votes each candidate got. I guess someone working for the State Dept. has access to that kind of info. The only solution is to include Iran in the circle of nuclear countries and try to encourage as much interaction as possible through trade and other progressive means in an attempt to moderate the current regime. You would give the wife beater a bigger baseball bat, and also have him over for BBQs in the daytime in the hopes that the BBQ would moderate his behavior. The rest of us would just throw him in jail. Why don't you do a back flip and disappear into your own asshole, o brilliant one?

Your perspective is a joke. She has no objective, Elroy. Taro

Elroy, You would give the wife beater a bigger baseball bat, and also have him over for BBQs in the daytime in the hopes that the BBQ would moderate his behavior. The rest of us would just throw him in jail. What if the wife really wanted to be beaten? Who are we to "impose" our societal values upon this couple who has otherwise hurt no one else? Are we so arrogant as to assume that our way is better than the ways of this couple? Just trying to play "liberal advocate" ... ;-) Tenchusatsu
