What the Iranian Election is all about, and what it means.
We all know the 2009 Iranian election is this weekend, but what does this mean for us? Well most of the U.S. and the Western world wants the current leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to be defeated by Mir Hossein Mousavi. Mahmoud is a strictly conservative religious man, and wants to do things on the Islamic agenda.
If he wins then Iran could become a hostile country, and it would be hard to make trade and dealings with them. If he loses then Iran could become an ally again, and we could work together. Iran could be on the path to a great future but everything rests on this one election. It is finally time to see if the conservative people of Iran are ready to change with the times.

You act like Mousavi and Ahmadinejad have a different agenda. You apparently forget that the Mullahs only allow their own guys to run in the Presidential elections. Mousavi and Ahmadinejad have the same agenda. Mousavi was a radical Khomeini supporter. He did not implement any kinds of democratic reforms when he was Prime Minister from 1981-1989. He was well-liked by Khomeini and was a founder of the Islamic Republican party in Iran, which was a radical Khomeinist party in Iran. Mousavi was well-liked by Khomeini, helped found Hezbollah, was an accomplice in the 1983 marine barracks bombing and was an accomplice in the execution of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran, which Human Rights Watch called a \\\”crime against humanity\\\”. The idea that if Mousavi won the election, Iran could become an ally of America is absurd. He vowed to continue Iran\\\’s nuclear weapons program, which he helped to start when he was one of Khomeini\\\’s favorite guys. Regarding Iran\\\’s foreign and domestic policy, Mousavi and Ahmadinejad are the same. All this optimism about Mousavi has no basis in fact and should stop.
