...He (Hashemi-Rafsanjani) said the election proved that the United States is a shaky and fragile society that cannot stake a claim to world leadership.
He told a religious gathering in Qom that capitalism, just like communism, was incompatible with man's nature and would fail like communism to lead the world.
"What is going on in Florida shows that American democracy is inconsistent and that Americans have completely lost their heads," he said.
"The American regime does not take into consideration the views fo the people. The United States postures itself as a model of democracy for the whole world. But fewer that 50 percent of Americans vote, while in the Islamic Republic of Iran, which they call anti-democratic and despotic, there is close to 90 percent participation"...


Sheeet. Didn't communist Russia get a 99% turnout? I think they used to get over 100% turnnout in Haiti. Undoubtedly the confusion in Florida is regretable. But in Iran they stone women to death for adultery and the Council of Guardians has the power to disqualify candidates they don't like. Dissidents are routinely killed by the Secret Police. There is no freedom as good as the freedom from choice, enforced by the power of the gun, eh, Hashem? Blow it out your @ss.
 
Yeah,right

Those godless heathens have been murdering each other over there over religious affiliation for thousands of years.When they "vote" they get to choose whichever savage is in fashion at the time.

Let them challenge our shaky and fragile military like their buddy saddam did,and we'll see who can stake a claim to world leadership,and who can crawl around on their faces and kiss the feet of US newspeople and surrender to them on worldwide television.
 
Hah! These's the Iranian pot calling the American kettle black!

Are those 90% voter turnouts including women, yet? Managed to put more than one candidate on the ballot?

This is their feeble attempt to pretend their way is superior. Deep down inside, they wish they were like us.
 
Those nasty Iranians have seiously hurt my feelings and done perhaps irreparable damage to my self esteem. :rolleyes:

We should all want to be just like them: A 16th century society in a 21st century world.
 
There's that misunderstanding again...

Yet another person from overseas seems to believe that we as a people "stake a claim" to this. (although our current administration has been annoyingly activist at times) The fact is, we just want to be left alone to sell our stuff to anyone who wants to buy it and then use the money to buy other stuff we want; extremely simple concept, really. However, when Absurdistan takes a punch at Upper Revolta, you'll notice that nobody calls, say, Sweden. :rolleyes:
Another example: Backwoodsia is ticked at the way East Repressa is treating it's minority population of Backwoodsians, so what do they do? Why, hijack a US Airliner, of course! That'll show those East Repressans not to mess around with them! :rolleyes:
In the bad old days of the CCCP, you'll notice that very few countries not actually occupied by Soviet troops needed to be forced into defense treaties with Uncle Sugar at gunpoint... Then there's the weedy little ex-colonial nations, whose European overlords bailed out with the alacrity of the passengers on R.M.S. Titanic, post-iceberg, who use the almost-entirely-US funded UN to tee off on what a sack of b@$****s we Yanks are, and then turn around and gleefully accept our handouts, both private and public, to keep enough food in their peasants larders to keep them from starving because the crown prince-sultan-chief has hijacked the state treasury for a junket to Monte Carlo and new tires for his fleet of Rolls-Royces...


In short, ask any American with an I.Q. greater than their shoe size just exactly how much they care about the feelings towards America of some petty religious dictator in a fourth-rate Third World sandbox.

I'll give you a hint: it's a number less than 1...
