Iranian cleric says women cannot be president as 30 females try to have names added to the ballot

28. Rings hollow.

Female candidates are part of the Iranian opposition, so your statement of support rings hollow in light of your previous posts. Iranians do not want a Monarchy and would not settle for one because 'life was better' under the last one. They want to be able to vote.

FYI the trains comment is in reference to Benito Mussolini, the fascist former leader of Italy, and is a common figure of expression in politics. It conveys, through absurd irony, that even if some things were better under a dictator, they still should not receive praise for it. For one, because they were not necessarily responsible for the better conditions. Secondly, because it does not excuse them from being a dictator. Both of these are relevant to the Shah thus it is better not to say anything nice about his reign.

Your superfluous descriptions of life in Iran do not add anything this conversation as you are not telling me anything I don't know, nor did I ever contend with that portion of your posts. I am trying to save you time when I say that you should cut your posts down to what is relevant to the conversation. Check your first post in this thread for the disagreement.
