in terms of concerns for the state he's done very well, globally he might not be so welcomed but really only in the USA/UK since he's anti USA policy
there's no reason to hate on him
anyway only 19% of the vote is counted so far of which he has 60+% of the votes
even the vaunted discussion on the holocaust is blown out of proportion by the usa because they don't like him they twisted it etc to give him a bad image (this topic alone is worth a book so i wont bother and am prepared for ignorant remarks)

Besides don't believe everything the U.S. media tells you. I know they're reporting saying that the people want change, but that probably isn't the truth.
Besides who cares. Iran has never invaded anyone, or will.

Dude, the anti-semitic shit is pretty well documented. You can't blame that entirely on the media.

So you're saying that you want someone who openly denies the holocaust, says that there are no homosexuals living in Iran, continues to persecute people for their religious beliefs to run one of the most unstable countries in the world? Let alone he continues to enrich uranium for "power sources", not for nuclear bombs. It's like saying, oh North Korea were to keep re-electing Kim Jong Il, if they could.

Also Iran is the most stable country in the Middle East.

he doesn't deny the holocaust he denies elements of it, he doesnt deny that jews were killed either
but there is much evidence etc to suggest (the most educated of WW2 agree) that there are discrepencies on how things happen and he just wants to discuss and research that... (probably to piss america off as well because america is so staunchly supporting only 1 viewpoint)
anyway he's not even in control of foreign policy and the nuclear situation of Iran some cleric is

I don't get it... so the US wants democracy for all, blah blah blah yet here is a country that has a democratically elected leader but because they don't share the same views as the US, they are all of the sudden in the Axis of Evil? Democracy is a double edge sword. It reflects the wants and needs of the majority and it's not always pretty

The absolute ruler is not elected and he has the final say on who can run for president.

the opposition would have called it a rigged election regardless of the result
if he had won by a small amount they would have said there was voter fraud and the difference in votes being a small amount is believable
with the margin soo lop sided they're still calling it voter fraud but on such a massive scale? thats much less believeable

"Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli warned that any demonstrations needed official permission, and none had been given."
Stuff like that makes me laugh.

^^^ yea that was a retarded comment, on another note that guys a billionaire
election monitors are in place for 3rd world countries it'd be demeaning to Iran to accept that
not only that who could they trust to monitor the election without fearing they would side with the usa and claim voter fraud (especially in hindsight when americas nemesis Ahmadinejad won)

Mir Hossein Mousavi the person running against Ahmadinejad wanted to have his people at polling station to make sure nothing funny was going on. He was not allowed to do that.
A lot of Mousavi supporters are young and use Facebook to campaign for him. A few days before the election facebook stopped working.

so your reasoning is that ahmawhatever won by such a large percentile, that fraud isn't likely?
