First Round:

Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani - 6,159,453 (21.01%)
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - 5,710,354 (19.48%)
Mehdi Karroubi - 5,066,316 (17.28%)
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf - 4,075,189 (13.9%)
Mostafa Moeen - 4,054,304 (13.83%)
Ali Larijani - 1,740,163 (5.94%)
Mohsen Mehralizadeh - 1,289,323 (4.4%)
Blank (no vote for president on ballot) - 1,221,940 (4.17%)

Voter Turnout: 62.66%



Second Round (run-off):

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - 17,284,782 (61.69%)
Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani - 10,046,701 (35.93%)
Blank (no vote for president on ballot) - 663,770 (2.37%)

Voter Turnout: 59.6%
Where do you get your information from? Some propaganda Iranian news agency?

You forgot that before the first round there were run-offs where hundreds of people ran and their votes were not counted because the head mullah said they could not run simply because they had a chance of winning and were part of the reform party.

Kill them NOW.

The Middle East has been a hot bed of war since the beginning of time.

They don't know anything but war.

They justify actions by saying it for the good of god.

Once they get nukes they will use them against us and destroy the world

The only solution is to kill them NOW

Well I saw a new agency do a report a few months back in Tehran and other Iranian cities. Those interviewed were very common with US citizens saying "I don't know what our leader is doing" and "we don't share the same opinions"...oddly enough, very similar to what the average Joe in the United States says about the Bush Administration. As for elections being 'fair', just because you were elected doesn't mean the election was fair by any means.

I will be one of the first to say that the globe in general would be better without a few 'leaders' running around.
