    The real Ahmadinejad

We just marked the Iran hostage crisis 30 years later as in Iran the thirty year anniversary of the storming of the US Embassy and the capture of 54 hostages brought the standard death to America crowd burning American flags. Something new is as they have been doing since the stolen elections the protesters took to the streets.

Pro and anti Government forces took to the streets. Some shouting death to America, many in the streets shouting "Obama are you with us" Of course as usual it got violent as pro Government and militia started attacking the protesters firing shots, tear gas, and clubbing. The protesters were fewer in number but they still came out and they will not be quelled but I am really fearing for the lives of Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi. In Iran, rival rallies show rift endures with protesters and America haters 30 years after the Revolution!

There is a very in depth breakdown of events at the link above but the Government knew the protesters would take the excuse of the Anti American celebration at the embassy to come out and protest the stolen elections despite since the June stolen election that there has been numerous killed, imprisoned, tortured, and falsely sentenced so the current regime could remain on their fascist agenda.

The Government who in the past I have said numerous times is now controlled by the Revolutionary Guard that was originally set up to protect it., announced to the public that if the protesters came out they would be dealt with harshly and the only chant allowed would be shouts of "Death to America" in the Government sanctioned rallies outside the Embassy outside the Embassy stormed by Iranian students in 1979.

As you may remember 54 Americans were held hostage for 444 days, the Iranian Government of the Shah fell, and Ayatollah Khomeini came to power. Also as you may remember President Carter attempted a rescue of the hostages but it ended in disaster with the collision of helicopters in the desert and the death of some would be rescuers. The hostages were then held for 444 days until they were released after Reagan's election. A fact Republicans love to brag about!

It is ironic that since the stolen election to keep the Fascist Ahmadinejad in control the children of the Revolution have been constantly persecuted and often maimed and killed. I just want to remind you of something once again denied and no longer talked about but you know it is true. That is Ahmadinejad's involvement in the 1979 events at the Embassy when he was a student. As you know, he went on to a career in the IRG and is now President of Iran though illegitimate.

I do remember when tensions erupted between Bush and Ahmadinejad pictures emerged of student Ahmadinejad being involved with the Embassy take over and resulting hostage taking of the 54 Americans and was dismissed as phony. 30 years later amidst dueling protests and shouts of Death to America and Death to Ahmadinejad the Dictator Obama penned a response for Iran's Government in Farsi drawing a line in the sand saying the future was up to them. In Iran, rival rallies show rift endures

It sickens me that once again thanks to cell phone footage and commentary from the protests saying Mousavi was kept under house arrest so he could not go to the protests, the protests were brutally suppressed, and in fact Karroubi was over taken by tear gas and had to be carried away to his vehicle. That was denied despite the Government said he was facing possible death. Yeah by them and of course it would or will be blamed on the US. Check out their denial! Iran Disputes Press Coverage of Day of Protests

As I have said numerous times since the stolen election despite the persecution imprisonment and killing of the children of the Revolution this will continue until it erupts into a one sided full blown 2nd Revolution as we ourselves seem to be facing right here thanks to Republican instigation.

jmsjoin!
thanks for your intriguing assessment. Remains to be seen whether your wish to see a 2nd Revolution in Iran gets fulfilled in the near future. I had rather say that in your dream you can fulfill your wish for more chaos and disturbance in a peaceful, vibrant, diverse and youthful country like Iran. My humble advise would be for you to worry about healing the divisions in your own backyard..., I mean your own country America, a great country torn apart by the divisions created by die hard supporters of Republicans and Democrats. There is little space for a dissenting point of view or should I rather say no middle ground.
I hope to see you concentrate on diffusing this divide which is even more apparent than anytime in the history of this great nation.
thx. cj

That video is further proof of what happens when Islam is the predominant religion in the land. Americans, stand up against Islam without any remorse any chance that you get.

Iran has serious problems for sure. I don't think the juxtaposition of the evils of the Iranian government and the failures of our own is a genuine one. Iran is a country which looks like pre-civil rights America but with a State sponsored religion that guarantees no religious freedom ever. Mostly I feel for the people of Iran who have to put up with the totalitarianism.
