Remember it was Jannati and his gang that disqualified Rafsanjani: a former president, a former acting commander-in-chief of the war with Iraq, a former Majlis speaker, and the current chairman of Expediency Council. If he is not qualified to run, who is? Jannati? The point is that a government body, with members chosen by the leader or other government institutions, should not be in charge of selecting who can run to head the government. That simple! But it must not be simple to you.<br /><br />Your points number two and three do not make any sense, literally. Please rephrase it and resubmit, and I'll be more than happy to comment.<br /> <br />Now about the choice: I have no problem who you chose to vote for. That was you selection, whatever it was, and I respect that. The Iranian people, however, said no to extremism and voted for moderation. Rouhani won more votes that all other seven candidates combined! And he won in Tehran as well as all major cities, small cities and villages. <br /><br />The argument made in the last four years by a number of people who consider themselves Iran experts, or "real" friends of Iran, that non-conservatives (non-principlists) could only get the backing of northern upper and upper-middle class Tehrani‘s was wrong four years ago and proved to be wrong last month; all their favorite telephone polls proved to be suspicious as well. The people of Iran overwhelmingly voted to show their discontent with the current situation, rejected eight years of extremism under Ahmadinejad and the fundamentalists, and voted for moderation in internal as well as foreign policies; and I suggest that you respect their will. <br />Nader Uskowihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02808543185109048956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-44459761541499251072013-07-30T22:32:53.474-04:002013-07-30T22:32:53.474-04:00Uskowi at 9:15AM

I totally agree with your post.<br />(The fundamentalist view goes for the Ortodox Jews in Israel and the rest of the world and the Right Christian movement / Tea party members in the US as well)<br />The US has made a mess in trying to replace a secular force like Assad, with these backward killers. I am glad to see the Russians are not letting the Americans to do the same thing in Syria as they did in Lybia.<br />Assad's father tried to negotiate with the Americans and the Israelis. Golan heights has been occupied illegally by Israel and giving it back to the legitimate owners (Syria) would end the conflict with them. (Will not happen because of the nature of the expansionists successive Israeli governments)<br />When it comes to the original subject of this post, then I do agree with Rafsanjani. A country's national interests are best served by constructive diplomacy and trying to achieve a win-win situation.<br />I would again urge those who are demonising the west and have the romantic picture of a better world when and if the Russians and the Chinese one day will be replacing the Europeans and the Americans, to be careful what they wish for. There are still some check and balances (although absolutely not perfect)in these countries, that is holding their politicians (to a much lesser extent in the US, than Europe) answerable. Can anyone honestly say this about Putin's Russia or the Communist party of China? Can any honest, well informed Iranian say that the IRI is not being taken advantage of by the Russians and the Chinese due to Iranian corruption and stupid foreign policy of Ahmadinejad for the past 8 years. Bushehr and the Oil money held in China (by the admission of majlis deputies) just one example.<br />Westoxication? No. Choosing the lesser devil, Yes.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-55926137543108384252013-07-27T13:08:57.588-04:002013-07-27T13:08:57.588-04:00Anon 4:54 AM, "a 1400 old backward religion&q...Anon 4:54 AM, "a 1400 old backward religion" is just another one of many backward religions of the region and world.

Iran needs better diplomacy to hone it its role as a stabilizing force and a bulwark against terrorism.<br /><br />European Parliament identifies Wahabi and Salafi roots of global terrorism<br /><br />It is not merely the faith or oil that flows out of Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf Sheikhdoms. The oil-rich Arab state and its neighbours are busy financing Wahabi and Salafi militants across the globe.<br /><br />A recent report by the European Parliament reveals how Wahabi and Salafi groups based out of the Middle East are involved in the "support and supply of arms to rebel groups around the world." The report, released in June 2013, was commissioned by European Parliament's Directorate General for External Policies. The report warns about the Wahabi/Salafi organisations and claims that "no country in the Muslim world is safe from their operations ... as they always aim to terrorise their opponents and arouse the admiration of their supporters."<br /><br />The nexus between Arab charities promoting Wahabi and Salafi traditions and the extremist Islamic movements has emerged as one of the major threats to people and governments across the globe. From Syria, Mali, Afghanistan and Pakistan to Indonesia in the East, a network of charities is funding militancy and mayhem to coerce Muslims of diverse traditions to conform to the Salafi and Wahabi traditions. The same networks have been equally destructive as they branch out of Muslim countries and attack targets in Europe and North America. So far in the Middle East, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon have borne the brunt of Saudi sponsored Wahabbi terror.<br /><br />Despite the overt threats emerging from the oil-rich Arab states, governments across the globe continue to ignore the security imperative and instead are busy exploiting the oil-, and at time times, blood-soaked riches.<br /><br />The European Parliament's report though is a rare exception to the rule where in the past the western governments have let the oil executives influence their foreign offices. From the United States to Great Britain, western states have gone to great lengths to ignore the Arab charities financing the radical groups, some of whom have even targeted the West with deadly consequences.<br /><br />While the recent report by the European Parliament documents the financial details connecting the Arab charities with extremists elsewhere, it is certainly not the first exposition of its kind. A 2006 report by the US Department of State titled, International Narcotics Control Strategy Report - Money Laundering and Financial Crimes, reported that “Saudi donors and unregulated charities have been a major source of financing to extremist and terrorist groups over the past 25 years.” One of the WikiLeaks documents, a cable from the US Consulate in Lahore also stated that “financial support estimated at nearly 100 million USD annually was making its way to Deobandi and Ahl-e-Hadith clerics in the region from ‘missionary’ and ‘Islamic charitable’ organisations in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates ostensibly with the direct support of those governments.”<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-56820046398391692002013-07-23T08:05:12.733-04:002013-07-23T08:05:12.733-04:00"political Islam is the enemy"?
