Iran. Part II

In continuation of my June 23 post titled "Iran"
I may not know a lot about Iran as I have visited the country and its major cities only 4-5 times and that in the late 80's. I know a bit more about Islam and Islamic republics. I am dead certain, however, that Lila Ghobady, Iranian journalist and filmaker that escaped her country and went to Canada as a refugee, knows much more about Iran. She wrote a powerful article and I would like to quote some parts of it that refer to Mousavi, the other bozo that complains about election irregularities, and in support of whom the West is going out of their way.
She says in her article:

"... There has been no real election. Candidates are all hand-picked and cleared by a central religious committee. It is a farcical imitation of the free nomination/ election process that we have pictured in the free world. There is no possibility that a secular, pluralistic, freedom-loving democratic person who loves his or her country can become a candidate to run for president (or any other office) in Iran..."

".... Mr Mousavi, if elected, will not make any changes, not because he is powerless to do so (as Khatami’s supporters claimed during his presidency), but because he doesn’t believe in a democratic state as his background shows. He belongs to the fanatic dictatorial era of Ayotollah Khomeini and he believes in the same command-and-control system of government. We should not forget Khomeini’s statement in one of his speeches after the revolution about democracy. He said that “if all people of Iran say ‘yes” I would say no to something that I would believe is not right for the Islamic Nation”.
Let us not forget that Mousavi was Prime Minister of Iran in the 1980s when more than ten thousand political prisoners were executed after three-minute sham trials. He has been a part of the Iranian dictatorship system for the past 30 years. If he had not been, he would not be allowed to be a candidate in the first place...."
