Young Iranians’ hopes stolen by ayatollahs in Iran’s “election”
2 comments June 13th, 2009
So much for the idea that Iran has democratic elections. The votes probably were not even counted. Millions of yount Iranians, tired of religious rule from absolutist ayatollahs, thought they could shape a new Iran by voting for Hossein Mousavi,the chief opponent of the d apocalyptic and Holocaust-denying president, Ahmedinejad.
The race was close, and initially, both candidates’ campaigns declared victory. Then, the ayatollah-run government took control, declaring their guy, Ahmedinejad, the victor in a landslide. Now, chaos has broken out in Teheran. Good.
