"Iranians are voting in massive numbers today, but don’t be fooled by the appearance of democracy. As my friend and former Deputy National Security Advisor Elliot Abrams points out in a New York Times op-ed, the election isn’t real. All the candidates were pre-selected by the Islamofascists who run the country. Sure it would be nice to see Ahmadinejad voted out, but the office of president is not where the real power resides.
The “supreme leader” of Iran is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He has at his disposal the thugs in the Revolutionary Guards and a variety of paramilitary groups that brutally suppress any effort to overcome the rule of the mullahs. In fact, the election presents a very real risk: The appearance of moderation will make it more likely that Europe and the Obama Administration will appease Iran as it marches toward obtaining a nuclear arsenal"
