Tin Soldiers And Ahmadinejad Coming!

This subject may be getting old but I am old too so here we go. By now, you've either seen the video of the young Iranian woman named Neda dying or you chose not to watch but there is no way you don't know what happened here. I saw it because I ignored the approximately 7 thousand warnings that this was graphic and disturbing. The warnings were right. It was graphic and extremely disturbing .


Neda was shot by somebody in power in Iran. She apparently wasn't even taking part in demonstrations against the sham government that had stolen an election days before. Wow, it's just like 1970 Kent State and 2000 Florida. Murders of innocent bystanders during demonstrations and sham elections. I guess we do have some common ground with Iran.


It seems that the "election" in Iran "won" by incumbent weirdo and Members Only jacket wearing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defied all pollsters numbers and made no sense. Mir-Hossein Mousavi , the challenger and favorite of young Iran, lost his own district by such a wide margin, it was said he even lost to Pat Buchanan there. That's a joke, but so was this election.


Meanwhile, back in the United States, Barack Obama was keeping a low profile, expressing his concern and lightly treading on an issue he has no power to do anything about while Republicans like Lindsay Graham, unmarried conservative from South Argentina, uhhh, Carolina urges Obama to be more aggressive and , oh I don't know, blow smoke in the Iranian ambassador's face or something. Even mustachioed warmonger John Bolton has called for caution, yet Graham continues to call for something from Obama. I really don't know what Graham wants, except to sit there and yip like a Yorkie stuck in a closet.


Stop it, Republicans. You're making a joke of your party. You have more in tune with Ahmadinejad and the religious nuts who run Iran than the rest of us. It seems the Iranians of the rural areas, clinging to their religion and swords, love the mullahs and Ahmadinejad. The cities, where people actually live, seem to want progress and change. Why hate Iran, conservatives? You are just like them. You are what you hate. Rest in peace, Neda.
