Presidential candidate starts blogging
Mostafa Moeen, the reformist candidate for the next president, has written his second post on his blog, which means he is taking it seriously.
Moeen's first post was about congratulating the new Persian year, and the second one is about a conversion he's had with some ordinary workers in Behesht-e Zahra (Tehran's greatest graveyard). The men were asking what he could do that Khatami hadn't and Moeen had sort of no answer to that, except that he had to run to protect the country from its enemies and people should take part to do the same.
He is the first presidential candidate who has a weblog and if elected, would be the first Iranian president with a weblog.
I'm really happy that our efforts and time we've spent to promote weblogs is paying off and now more and more Iranian politicians are turning to blogging. This is good for both them and us. It makes them more aware of what people want which in turn make them different rulers.
I only wish that Iran's Supreme leader, Khamanei, had a blog, or at least were reading weblogs. because, as I've usually said, he would rule differently.

Baraadar Hoder, it has come to our attention that Canada is not a Republic, let alone an Islamic one, and this despite all the time that you have spent there. Some practical initiatives are called for as bloging is taking a long time and the progress towards the preparation for the return of the Imam of time, - the blog to come, - has been needlessly delayed. Practical measures are expected from the loyalists to cause residing amongst the infidels: A buzz similar to what you are doing for Moeen et al must be started to convert the Canadian PM to the cutting edge Shiite obscurantism and pre-enlightened double talk, then set him up with a bloggollah and start his eternal medieval reformation, mixed with the perpetuation of the fear of an American attack - report your progress back to the HQ in Alawi mosque in Tehran asap. Blog-negahdare shoma wa ahle beit.

Khamanei rules the way he does because his position demands it. I know the American media always tries to throw the mullahs in Iran in the same pot as the dictators in the middle-east. But the difference between Khamanei and the Arab dictators is the fact that his main function is the survival of the regime. His ideological agenda does not change by reading blog posts. His function is very clear to him and he fulfills his tasks accordingly. As soon as he sees the system in danger of obliteration, he will react and might even drink from the 'poison cup.'
---------
Your time and efforts are paying off? Promoting one of the most ignorant figures in mullah's regime which was already sacked as a minister because of students' protests? And you 'wish' khamanei had a blog? Shame on you man, you become a pupet of mullahs. I suggest you stop getting money from Khamanei and get a real job in Canada. Oh and, we will strike mullahs' regime whenever it's right time.

Is Moeen protecting Iran from its enemies by: 1. Being clever and trying to change things in Iran, calling the ruling party the enemy. 2. Or is he trying to protect Iran from the non-existing threat from the United States. (By that I mean that the US will not invade, attack etc... but the warheads are not pointed at Moscow anymore.)
---------
He should pay more to his ISP. His bandwidth limit is full. Eager to read his posts, we are pending. Please advise them somewhere.
