This are just few crazy people,that a anot happy with ahmedinejad win. Everybody knows that ahmedinejad won fair and square,but the reformist are just palyin games ,because ahmedinejad promised to investigate them for corruption,so they want to cause problem,and this will prevent the investigation to happen. All this is a tactics to evade fraud investigation.

I think the best part about this whole shouting and chanting event is that all those people got their chance to be heard. They got on world-wide TV coverage, they showed their protest on the issue (rightfully or not) and come together to feel and see that they as individuals are not crazy, apparently there are others like them. Now in contrast: when millions poured onto the streets of America in 2002 shouting and chanting "Down with the tyrant, No war on Iraq" the same world-wide TV acted as if nothing happened. Police shot tear gas and rubber bullets into the crouds, arrested hundreds and charged with imaginary crimes. Of course if we had RussiaToday that time widely available- we would have seen live coverage, but instead we relied on blogs solely. I may disagree with the way the crouds in Iran were being financed (CIA ultimately), but I completely support Iranians' right to demonstrate and address their grievances directly to their respective government.

What worries me is that if people were to vote again in Iran, Ahmadinejad would still win. Would Mousavi and friends again claim foul play? Will they protest every election result until they miraculously win? People must accept election results, even if they don't like them. Don't turn Iran into Honduras

It's not about Mr. Ahmadi Nezhad or Mr. Mousavi. The fact is is all these people work within one frame - that is Islamic Republic of Iran. Even if Mr. Mousavi comes some time, we shouldn't expect large-scale changes in internal affairs of foreign policy of Iran. A great part of the story - regarding chants against Russia - goes to the western advertisement that is widely available in most of Iranian households: watching pro-western programs such as VOA Persian, BBC Persian, etc. are of great interests to most of Iranians (youths' fathers and elders) who have their political tendencies roots in pro-western regime before the Islamic Revolution. One can find a great number of famous newspapers copying and pasting directly from these western-supported advertisements like gazettes San'at, Sarmaye, etc. What is interesting to me is that Iranians have easily and quickly changed attitudes: in only one generation, they changed from a pro-western government to slogans such as 'down with America' and 'down with England'. And now, majority of people shout 'down with Russia' that was a friend of them, as they considered. And all of this has happened only in one generation - Revolution. To compound the puzzle, the recent crash of an aged Tupolev 154m in Iran became a pretext for just to talking against the government and Russia. Well, West is following its monopoly and imperialistic politics under the mask of its new political vocabulary 'Human Rights' and 'Democracy'. According to West's so-called Human Rights, people and nations should be punished because government's have problems! Where, may I ask, is their claims on 'human right for personal and national development and welfare'? But it's discouraging to see Iranians changing opinions again. Regardless, Russia ought to find ways - a comprehensive website, for instance - to broadcast a crystal and positive image of Russia and Russians to defend against Russophiba which is injected by Europe and West.

What puzzles me in all this is this assumption that this is the will of the Iranian people. Who are the Iranian people the protesters represent? According to the best informed analyst on Iranian affairs, and an Indian diplomat of thirty years, M. K. Bhadrakumar, the protests are "tempest in a teapot". Much attention has been given to what he describes as the "Gucci crowd" of fashionable northern Tehran. The country side, where Ahmedinejad won, and handily, is on nobody's TV cameras. The protests, orchestrated and paid for by several oligarchs in robes, particularly former President Rafsanjani, has had mostly the media value. It has put the pressure on the government to have to deal with all the negative press. It has brought to the streets the thugs and other unstable individuals resulting in death and destruction. And now, to get even more attention, the "protesters" are picking on other countries. Naturally, even though China has been the first country to openly congratulate President Ahmedinejad on elections, is not being called names. This speaks to the obvious interests by the sponsors of such "spontaneous" chanting not to aggravate relations with China. After all, the instigation of riots was good enough reminder to China what can be done. It is best not to pay any attention to the orcheatrated media spectacle. All of this makes Soviet propaganda machine look like a high school theatre.

Did Webster Tarpley call this or what? The CIA formenting anti-Russian attitude in Iran.

I as an Iranian announce that chant "down with Russia" are done with anger. We think this is done by Russia to make problems in good relation sight between Iran and the USA.

Why would any one be unhappy about Russia's neutrality? The report is obviously biased. Just like the official reports from state-run media in Iran. It's being heard from the rooftops at night, in the streets on every occasion. Iranian people are not trying to find a escape goat. They are challenging the hypocrisy of Ahmadinejad. No offense to the Russian people, but what would you conclude if you hear from Iranian state-run radio that 90% of Iranian petroleum projects is about to be bestowed to "our Russian friends" after the bloody crack down of the protests? Sounds like a victory reward to me. The rhetoric used by both Russian and Iranian official media are strikingly similar. The Russian involvement in the elections is becoming more apparent day after day.

Ahmadinejiad did win. If they held the elections again, he would still come out the winner. I cannot help but think that all these protests are artificially blostered by outside players. Fomenting anti-Russia attitudes in iran can only play into the interests of one specific country, and we know who that country is. It is a part of a plan to cause trouble for Iran. Obama's in on it; that's for sure!!

That's a good one. They are one step away from chanting "Down with the whole world!"....
