You guys are pathetic today. A RPF regular gets an article on HuffPo, and we can only muster up 4 lame Diggs?

Sorry, but a run off is a waste. Same result will occur as planned.

This is not really about the candidates now. It is bigger than that.

Some twenty to thirty years ago, apparently, after the last overthrow, families were told to be fruitful and multiply. They did. It is now a country of high unemployment where people try for years to get a job and cannot. The system cannot handle them, not enough productivity. This is fueling and fanning the flames of a new revolution.

Freedom is the other part of the equation. They are living in a theocratic-fascist dictatorship in which the elite and the clerics hold all the cards in this game.

Another election will not solve this problem. The power is with those who have the guns and it is they who fomented the violence today and the last few days. The people have no power against their government. It is a sad sham and the people are angry. Only by coming out into the streets in huge numbers can they even hope to break the system. Just imagine Ahmadinejad actually buying votes with "bags of potatoes" in the poorer areas!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try to think of how angry some of us are that we are living in a corporate-fascist country and unemployment is about 18 percent (real). Our government is destroying our economoy at the same time they are stealing our wealth beneath our noses and forcing socilist-fascist programs down our throats. Soon you will be angry, too, if you are not yet. Only then will you understand how the Iranians are hurting.

Soon it will be our turn.
