Wild Bill Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 Ahmadinejad Rivals Rack Up Wins. Haed line theocrats now more powerful than ever. Woe is the Ahmadinejad camp. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/03/iran-elections-2012-ahmadinejad_n_1318370.html I've never understood why such regimes go through the pretense with phony elections. Is there anyone who actually believes them?

I doubt many believe there were honest elections in any Muslim country that claims to hold them...or in Russia... Quote

Elections are held there for the same reason they are held here... The mob is easier to manager if they think they have some level of control. Quote I question things because I am human.
