Why Iran isn't a democracy (Originally posted Feb. 22)

Someone in the American administration sure has a wonderful ear for irony! Imagine a Bush adminstration employee saying something like "... [the Iran] vote was neither free nor fair because an unelected watchdog of jurists had disqualified the candidacies of moderate candidates." Is he referring to Iran in February 2004, or America in November 2000?
In other news, Mr. Nader announces he will again offer himself as a presidential candidate because, as we all know, there is not a scintilla of difference between G. W. Bush and John Kerry. Or is it possible that some of his supporters from the last millenium now perceive that there just might be a difference between a president with an apocalyptic vision of the world and his role as liberator, and a senator who has seen the results of an earlier "preemptive" war?
