How is that good news?

Is it good that the rest of the world will have to cope with the anti-semitic-pinhead-buffon for the next years?

yeah, I guess its good for you to see that the deaths of protesters were in vain, and that nothing will change in the iranian theocracy.

If the Ayatollah gets to make these determinations unilaterally, then why bother having elections? If fact, why bother having a President? It's a theocracy anyway.

I feel bad for the people of Iran. Whether you support Ahmadinejad or the challenger, whether you believe in a hard line with the West or rapproachment, whether you believe in seeking nukes or not, whether you believe in peace with Israel or war...

it must suck to live in a theocracy of any kind.

Better neither. Better some sort of representative Democracy/Republic or anything other than one guy ruling an entire country based on his interpretation of a 1,500 year old book.

As opposed to a 2,000 year-old book? Or 2,500?

Being willing to speak out against the Zionist machine.

uh... no

You obviously missed my point completely. Any type of theocracy is bad; whether it be a Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Budhist, Hindu or any other one.

Is that the lens through which you see every politician and political organization on Earth?

I say we get the Zionist Machine and the Hamas Machine and put them in some sort of technology museum where we can admire how shiny they are.

Then we get the actual Jewish and Palestinian people together for a long session of kumbayah 😀
