Need to challenge dangerous cluelessness about Iran

Iran votes for new president, Khamenei slams U.S. doubts  "The 50 million eligible voters had a choice between six candidates to replace incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Having been vetted by Iran's electoral authorities, none is seen a challenge to the Islamic Republic's 34-year-old system of clerical rule."
Jennifer Rubin  "To their credit, a trio of Republicans spoke out about the fraudulent election in Iran. On the Senate floor, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) declared, “On Friday, the people of Iran head to the polls to make a false choice. They will be forced to select not the candidate of their choice, but from those chosen for them by the Supreme Ali Khamenei, who are guaranteed to continue the Supreme Leader’s policies of political and religious oppression and pursuit of nuclear capability at all costs.” The speech is worth listening to in full."


Rick Moran; Iranians in sham presidential election   "Better to have a close aide who will do as he's told in order for the Supreme Leader to maintain his iron grip on the government and country."
