1. more than rights
John ,   Boise, Idaho, USA   (06.25.09)
The Islamic clerics need to come to their senses and broaden their horizons when it comes to women. They were not created by God to be surpressed, but as a a vital part of society and family function. It begins with learning to respect rather than hide. Authoritarian rule by the mullahs is on it's way out the door....good riddance.
2. West's misunderstanding of Iranian protesters.
(06.26.09)
This whole reform thing is West's illusion and wishful thinking. Mousavi and his wife are among the most prominent founder leaders of Iranian Islamic revolutin of 1979. So, there are no questioning over the regime in Iran. All these are about election fraud and opposition of Ahmedinejad government's election, not about replacing the current regime.
3. Netanyahu's hour
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (06.26.09)
Hopefully Netanyahu won't join Obama in supporting the Mullahs by ignoring the pleas of the protestors. If Netanyahu leads Israel to help the Persian people gain their freedom, he will become Israel's greatest leader.
4. #2That may be true but any donkey is better than a monkey
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (06.26.09)
5. Rights?
Alan ,   Texas   (06.26.09)
They have only the right to die. The Mullahs won't mind killing all the protesters, women included
6. women power to be lesbian ...

as Condi, Carla ...
7. Have no doubt you will be amazed! or What Century is this?
Mark Smith ,   Canberra   (06.26.09)
Roll UP Roll Up See the amazing esteemed magician Iranian Prosecutor General Saeed Mortazavi pull a giant rat out of the very centre of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s very small turban. Using only smoke and mirrors, with his renowned coercive powers, Prosecutor Mortazavi will then turn this enormous rat, magically into an Iranian President. Also starring the Islamic version of the Catholic Spanish Inquisition the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard is to do an adaptation of the Spanish Inquisitions proof that the Earth is indeed flat. At the very same time the Iranian Revolutionary Guard will also prove what is an equally valid proposition Evil European, Israeli and US agents are totally responsible for fomenting the huge demonstrations and violence in Iran. See the Usual Confessions of Guilt! Have no doubt you will be amazed! What Century is this?
8. Not only Iranian women !
Atheist Turk ,   Germany   (06.26.09)
Most of the Iranians I have met here in Europe are liberal in mind. They are not religious. Free elections in Iran would send Ahmadinejad and his scum to the history books. I was not surprised by the result of the "election". Did you ever hear that a dictator lost an election?
9. Avi, do successful Women scare you???
Israelit ,   Israel   (06.30.09)
What century do you live in that you don't get it: Women aren't happy being barefoot and pregnant, chained between kitchen and bedroom. Are you afraid that smart women might expose you for the small minded person you are? Women that choose to use their G-d given intellect should be applauded. And men like you, Avi, should stay single.
