Behind his campaign, however, are right-wing elements within the clerical hierarchy and, most importantly, former Iranian president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, reportedly the richest man in Iran'<br />http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=13991<br /><br />BrianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708970.post-34974216874103162782009-06-16T18:54:53.965+09:302009-06-16T18:54:53.965+09:30Anonymous, when whatever it is you've been smo...Anonymous, when whatever it is you've been smoking wears off, instead of buying more of it, treat yourself to a trip to Iran for a couple of weeks and find out for yourself what young Iranians really think of America and Israel.<br /><br />You'll find that even those that can't stand Ahmadinejad and are now rioting in the streets despise America and Israel even more.<br /><br />The values they hate about America and Israel are their hypocrisy and their arrogance. I can assure you that Iranian youth do not aspire to any of their values.<br /><br />Secularism and materialism - yes; American and Israeli values - forget it. Iranians have their own values and are not in the slightest bit influenced by Western interpretations of secular materialism. The kidz on the streets today loathe and detest American and Israeli 'values' as much as they loathe and detest Ahmadinejad.<br /><br />Stop dreaming and go and find out for yourself.Damian Lataanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886295381135372084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708970.post-35210187483450592572009-06-16T18:25:39.736+09:302009-06-16T18:25:39.736+09:30In embracing both Western and also secular values,...In embracing both Western and also secular values, the young of Iran reject the religious dogma espoused by Hamas and Hezbollah.<br /><br />They no doubt would favour a cooperative approach to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian, not the ideological strait-jacket of destined destruction forced upon them.<br /><br />They see Israel as a modern secular state that embodies the same values that they aspire to.<br /><br />They relish positive relations with the West and the United States - the USA as it is today.<br /><br />We must show solidarity with the resistance in Iran.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708970.post-25884260911978174722009-06-16T17:09:15.700+09:302009-06-16T17:09:15.700+09:30Anonymous, regardless of how the people of Iran re...Anonymous, regardless of how the people of Iran resolve their political differences, you will find that they will always support the people of Palestine and all others that suffer under the racism that is Israeli Zionism – Mullah’s or not.<br /><br />I guess, for you, its ‘power to the people’ provided it’s not the Palestinian people.Damian Lataanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886295381135372084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708970.post-37324379538723528392009-06-16T16:36:39.362+09:302009-06-16T16:36:39.362+09:30Nearly two-thirds of Iran's population are und...Nearly two-thirds of Iran's population are under 28 years old.<br /><br />They are imbued with Western culture and, to an extent, Western values.<br /><br />While this may chide hardened old Socialists, the fact is that time is on the West's side in terms of regime change.<br /><br />The old Mullahs are running out of steam themselves.
