In 2007, George W. Bush asked Congress to fund an ESCALATION of covert operations against Iran. Congress approved $400 million for a destabilization plan designed to undermine Iran's religious leadership by way of active support of the minority Baluchi, Ahwazi Arab and other dissident organizations.
(Do you think there might be a connection between this destabilization plan and events presently occurring in Iran?)
Remember.
Electoral defeats of pro-US candidates, whether they are dictators or democracy lovers, are usually labeled as "stolen" by our mainstream media.
Seriously, I was totally amused (but not surprised) that within a day after the Iranian election, Satan's little helper's (the mainstream media) unanimously declared (without citing any evidence) Iran's election as fraudulent. Funny, they had so little to say about George Bush's dubious election numbers in Florida.
Seriously, most Americans would find it a challenge to find the US on a map let alone Iran. But now, thanks to the frenzied media coverage and hyperbole, the average American (who doesn't give a rat's ass about American elections) is supposed to be very, very concerned about Iran's?
That's right! Mr. & Mrs. Average "let's buy more cheap plastic crap from China" American is now very, very afraid of Iran(?).

Until recently, other than a few political hacks and incurable news junkies such as myself, no one even remotely cared about Iran's elections. But now that our western media does a daily hatchet job on Iran, it has become very apparent that our ownership, by turning public sentiment against Iran, is inventing a case for war.
As I see it, love him or hate him, agree or disagree, Ahmadinejad's political support comes from the far more numerous poor peasant classes. Iran's liberal, relatively wealthy urban middleclass is a relatively smaller group. It's wouldn't surprise me if Ahmadinejad won fair and square. Prior to the election, several reputable independent polling companies found he had 60% support.
This trend seems to be catching on in many third world countries and it makes sense.
