Iran endorses Bush for president

No, this isn't a joke.

http://www.indystar.com/articles/0/187838-8290-010.html

Apparently Iran is yet to see "anything good from Democrats", and are concerned that Democrats tend to worry about such pesky things like Human Rights -- and as such, they'll be supporting W.

I'd put more stock in the comments of your PM.

Mr Howard, fresh from talks with Indonesian president-elect Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, said he was hopeful Mr Bush would win his race against Democrat challenger John Kerry. "I wish him well and I hope he gets re-elected," he told reporters. "I certainly think George Bush has given great leadership to the world fight against terrorism. I think he's been a very strong leader in that fight. "I hope he wins."

Putin also endorsed Bush.

Looks like the story is another bogus AP creation. Iran didn't endorse either Kerry or Bush. But why the hell should we care?

quote:

Kerry or Bush, makes no difference to us: Iran AFP: 10/19/2004 TEHRAN, Oct 19 (AFP) - It makes no real difference to Iran whether US President George W. Bush or Democrat contender John Kerry wins the presidential elections, a senior Iranian official said Tuesday. "It makes no difference for us which of the two parties wins the elections," Iran's top national security official Hassan Rowhani said in an interview on state television. "We have not seen any good coming from the Democrats, so we won't be happy if the Democrats win," he said. "Also we should not forget that most sanctions and economic pressures were imposed on Iran during Clinton's administration," Rowhani added, referring to former president Bill Clinton. The official said a victory in next month's elections for Bush and the Republicans would also not have much impact on the Islamic republic, arch-foe of the United States.

^^ Probably just a follow up story when Iran realized that by endorsing Bush, they were actually hurting his chances more than they were helping him.

Yasser Arafat just endorsed Kerry...

Berlusconi endorsed Bush today. Add that to Howard and Putin...

Tiesto just endorsed Kerry.

"I like Indian food" was his answer, when asked for an explanation.

Kerry was endorsed by this...umm...woman?

I don't know how familiar you are with Howard, but I wouldn't necessarily consider that a good thing. Berlusconi is a blatantly corrupt media mogul (didn't he try and pass a bill to stop law enforcement pursuing him for a variety of crimes?), whilst Putin recently began dismantling what was left of Russian democracy -- using the Beslan attacks as a cover.

then add iran.

please find the pattern...

It's like you guys are illiterate, but only on the second half of the first page of this thread.

The AP had it wrong - Iran didn't endorse Bush. They didn't endorse anyone. They think they'll do rather poorly with either candidate. AFP was the only news agency to have the entire commentary.

But fine. Let's be Democrats and put that all into the memory hole of our twisted realities, say "Bush is evil! Bush is a mullah! Bush is a Nazi!" and let's move on with our lives. That's where the threads all go anyhow. It's like you guys all had a bad dose of "E" about 4 years ago that really effed up your sense of rationality.

Well, the majority of your fellow countrymen thought it was a fairly good thing just a couple of weeks ago.

I honestly don't understand what is at all irrational about trying to protect such core liberties as freedom of religion and the right of privacy.



That's what separates the US - a somewhat free country - from a country like Iran.

Do you believe, as Clarence Thomas, and Scalia do, that the government should arrest people for what they do in the privacy of their bedrooms?

Mr. Bush has said that Thomas is his favorite SC justice, and he's talking about a man who is so hostile to church/state separation that he believes each state should be able to establish its own religion.

For example, Alabama could declare itself officially Baptist, and Utah could declare itself officially Mormon if Thomas' view ever became the majority on the US Supreme Court.

I don't see how one cannot see the similarity between someone who shares that view and how the Mullahs run the show in the Mid East.

It's contrary to freedom, and the only difference is the possible religion in question that is legislated onto the populace.

Not really -- the election endeed up being framed on whether the oposition leader was ready to take over (he's still in his early 40s). There frankly wasn't much enthusiasm for either candidate.

That being said, most voters are apathetic & ignorant and generally don't have a clue about politics -- which does explain why so many hopeless party hacks get elected.
