Iranian Blogger: The Night Before The Election

Wishmeluck, Zaneirani:
It is sad to see how some people who are part of the intellectual capital of our nation suffer from lack of principles. They have no red lines.

Why do they encourage people to vote? Why are they convinced that Moin is a better choice than Rafsanjani, if anything in this game can be called choice? What has been the accomplishments of this guy? Heading the ministry for science and technology under Rafsanjani and Khatami? What has he done for the universities in that capacity? Did he stop the Hezbollah from entering dormitories, throwing out students out of the second floor? What is he going to do for political prisoners? As a matter of fact who is he to do anything for anyone? What are his plans for the economic malaise of our nation? Just the fact that he throws non-sense about "human rights and democracy" front, a pure demagoguery in my (Sheema Kalbasi's) view, entitles him to the precious votes of our citizens? A vote for any of these candidates is approval of poverty, oppression, prostitution, humiliation, frustration, brain drain,...

Having dignity is not radicalism. Stop lying.
