My point sir, is that Mousavi just reflects the opinions of the ayatollahs ANYWAY just like Ahmedinejad. It's all a sham...no matter who gets elected it's still going to be a theocracy no matter what the people want.<br /><br />Recognizing the Holocaust isn't about democracy, it's about REALITY. I don't claim to rule Iran, I don't want to...but the Iranian people don't either.<br /><br />In reference to "crying" about the Holocaust. No I don't expect him to, even I don't cry about about it and I was raised on concentration camp stories. But why make the comments at all? It's not just that he's "not crying" about it, he's clearly doubting the validity of the story. Come on man, "no matter who was responsible" ? "Something must have happened" ? Ridiculous. <br /><br />But forget about Israel and Jews for a minute. What about everything else I brought up here? Calling for Salman Rushdie to be killed...for writing a book? How liberal! Public support of hostage taking? How democratic. How pragmatic. <br /><br />The point my friend, is that Mousavi and Ahmedinejad are just different packages of the same lunacy. And when the choice is between Evil A and Evil B it's no choice at all. Especially when no matter who wins, they have no real power - except to be a puppet of one of the harshest dictatorships on Earth.<br /><br />Therefore the movement to support Mousavi is not a democracy movement. It may turn into one, but it hasn't yet.RonMossadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16815747509862087759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797868361228039776.post-70994557774697029382009-12-29T05:45:53.888-05:002009-12-29T05:45:53.888-05:00Why is your criteria for democracy support of Isra...Why is your criteria for democracy support of Israel?<br />Why does it have to do with recognizing the holocaust?<br />Why don't you decide if he is democratic by asking the people of Iran?<br />The current movement is a revolution for democracy. The movement is not for Mousavi, who is simply helping it.<br />Always remember that democracy does not mean what you want it to mean. It means only that the people rule, as much as it is possible for them to. Not you, but the Iranian people.<br /><br />And as far as the holocaust comments go:<br />Did you expect Mousavi to cry out about the holocaust? The last century has brought us many genocides, many much more current (nowish) than the holocaust. The holocaust is the most widely recognized genocide. One which needs not be politically dealt with at the moment. It has been dealt with. I'm not saying that antisemitism is dead, but only that it cannot stay at the top of your list of dangerous discrimination when so much more is happening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797868361228039776.post-69375402705615239652009-08-12T22:54:55.331-04:002009-08-12T22:54:55.331-04:00That's exactly right Jay - it only happens in ...That's exactly right Jay - it only happens in the movies.<br /><br />We are all raised to believe that if we just stayed positive and happy and la dee dah the world would work itself out.

Y...I kind of wished I had something clever to say.<br /><br />Yeah, it would've been fun if Iran reformed. Too bad stuff like that only happens in David Lynch movies and even then you wonder if it really happens in the new fictional world.<br /><br />GREEN IS NATURE. NATURE IS GOOD.
