What else did you guys expect?

And don't be surprised if the moderate candidate ends up losing the upcoming elections over there, either; I don't doubt that many of the people there are tired of the criminals in Tehran just as many Syrians tired of the crooks running their nation. But unfortunately, I suspect that the BushCo factions of the CIA will do everything they can to keep the Islamist thugs in power over there, and they may just succeed, too. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe the moderate fella manages to win regardless.....(and if he does, this would be great news, IMHO.)....but if not, there is the potential for another chapter of the Green Revolution to begin.....
