Those whom the Dems could fool then continue to be fooled and resentful to this day, like some of Ahmedinejad's supporters or those roving packs of "morality police" we hear of in Iran.

If Iranians suspect a subverted election, they're in the streets raising hell. When the Supreme Court subverted the American election in 2000 we just took it, like the meek little lambs that we are. The Iranian challenger, Moussavi, called for demonstrations, fatwas and marches of resistance. In 2000, Al Gore threw in the towel without a whimper. For the next eight years, we payed dearly for our apathy, and we're still paying today.<br><br>It seems we have a lot to learn about the value of democracy from our brothers and sisters in Iran.<br>W2E Iran is apparently far more serious about their democracy the we are about ours.

To me it demonstrates the growing liberalism and the increasing level of freedom of expression that is arising in Iran. It's actually quite inspiring. I was happy when I saw the Iranian chaos.
