democracy

the iranians are running through the streets arguing the flaws and the thievery of their election process. they are complaining about the unfair, illegal election of their next president.

the iranian people want to take their government back and want it to be a government for the people, by the people of the people. done fairly and justly.

is there anything wrong with that?

seems history kind of repeats itself, and he u.s. had the same kind of interference during the gore v bush fiasco election, and the american people allowed the courts to make a hall mark decision in electing our president.

and now with the last election obama v mccain, some americans, mainly hard core republicans want to secede from the union, or still try and disqualify president obama saying he was not born a american citizen.

seems no one is safe when it comes to finding democracy, whether it bethe large emblem of democratic principals like the u.s., or a member of the so called axis of evil, iran.

what does seem common is that most people, want their government to work for them. they want a government, that listens to their citizens, works for their populations, and does not want people who run for higher office to abandon the civil rights, the human rights of their constituents. they do not want career politicians to put their beliefs, benefits, and less than benevolent behaviors before the public's goods and needs.

the u.s. needs to look closely at how the iranians handle this election, because we also have a very poor record of making democracy a virtuous act in this country.

our way of government as been tarnished, and democracy has fallen, it seems to me off the priority list.
