#1 Iran doesn't need election until and after they have played wack a Mullah/Imam/Schollar/Judge. Once they have cleaned out the vermin then they can go back to elections.The ones they are holding are worse than the farce of Cuban and Soviet elections.

#2 "It is time to call for a referendum on the Constitution." -Mehdi Aminzadeh

Mehdi, baby, what good would that do? Mullahs don't respect paper, unless it has the Qu'uran printed on it, and even then it's only for show. I recognize that this may be the strongest thing you could say to a reporter without being hauled in for a few hundred lashes, but it's obviously a lame response to the situation, not to mention pointless since you-know-who would count the votes.

I'm sure Mehdi & Co are more savvy and cognizant than this - and would welcome the chance to have an actual representative Republic, elected democratically and votes counted honestly. That's what they thought they were getting in '97 when they supported Khatami. Surely they "get it" now - it ain't gonna happen as long as Khomeini and the Mad Mullahs are in charge.

So. How badly do you want it, Mehdi? Enough to fight for it - in a concerted and coordinated manner, instead of being pummeled in individual little shows of defiance? Duh, bubba. Get your acts together - into one act - and coordinate with the nice men who drop by...

There will come a time when they will hand you a 24K Golden Opportunity, on a .999 Sterling Silver Platter, to take your country back from the Black Hats. Will you be ready? Since the MM's are so obviously determined to commit suicide, you should be able to see the writing on the wall, sonny... If you can't, then perhaps you don't deserve it, but since our security is at stake, it will happen, regardless. The train's a-commin'... Figure it out and make up your minds, Persians.
