Iranian Election is a Disgrace

∇ Category:Politics, Finance and News | → 0 Comments |

In all the rhetoric that escalated the conflict between the Bush administration and Ahmadinejad, I had to at least respect the sovereignty of Iran even though I disagreed with much of the politics. This is because Democracy gave Ahmadinejad and the Iranian government legitimacy. Even though it is very apparent that Ahmadinejad does not truly represent character and beauty of the Persian people, as an elected official he was legitimately chosen to be their leader.

The events of the last week and half have been disheartening. With a blatant election fraud hanging over Iran, I truly wonder what can come of the relations with a nation hell bent on obtaining nuclear weapons.

Democracy and compassion is what gives government legitimacy, not nukes.

So if there is any good to come from this is that the Iranian/Persian people may finally be viewed separately from the policies of their government and seen as the proud, compassionate and brilliant people they are. We support your right to vote.

I know people have been asking about my new home but I figured I would put up a before shot. One from about a year ago.

Yeah it is the empty lot with the painted fence.
