Iranians choose a side in pivotal presidential election
Iran is holding a much-anticipated presidential election on Friday, and the results will likely have a major impact on how Iran responds to recent overtures by the Obama administration for a dialogue and better relations. The current president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is being challenged by a more pro-Western reformer, among others.
Karim Sadjadpour, an associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, discusses the election and what it may mean for the United States.

Far-out Davari, what would really be cool would be a very progressive blob of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream to be dropped into 12 ounces of that old fundamentalistic Pepsi Cola. Give everyone a straw and declare the end of the world as we know it.
By western standard and partizanship -yes election is not free- But by Islamic Uniparty of Allh is more free than western electhon of vote over choose between Pepsy o Coca to seat on throne of ” cola “.

Ben & Jerry Says:
We believe that the Iranian youth and the need to insist on social equality for women will push Iran forward toward a more universally human society. Now all we have to do is to get the rest of the Planet to do the same.
