why are the americans, the british, and the israelis manipulating and undermining iran's voting process?

Khamenei addressed a crowd at Tehran University in a sermon during Friday prayers. He passionately defended the outcome of last week's presidential election, but he also criticized the United States, Britain and Israel for manipulating and undermining the process.

"Their enmity toward the Islamic establishment -- they are showing this," Khamenei said. "The most treacherous is the government of Britain."

    The UK and the US have meddled in the internal affairs of Iran since 1953 when they overthrew the democratically-elected President Mossadegh. Then they installed their puppet, the brutal and murderous Shah. He was deposed in 1979. The intervention did not end there. Under the Reagan/Bush Regime funding of opposition groups and right wing rebels in Iran continued through the 1980's. The Clinton Administration cut back but continued to aid anti-Iranian government dissidents. GW Bush increased funding and prepared an attack and invasion plan against Iran.

    I do not believe Obama, though I could be wrong, is following the interventionist policies of Bush who had the CIA funding and aiding opposition groups in Iran, like they did in Georgia and the Ukraine.

    The US under Bush funded the oppositions in Georgia and the Ukraine. Both presidents of those countries became US puppets. Unfortunately they now are poor, backward and repressive nations, and their people are protesting daily to oust them.

    I actual have stumbled on maximum British people to be incredibly well mannered and fairly exciting. i'm an American, the son of a Scotsman, and if there grow to be ever a people to dislike the Brits, it is going to the two be a Scot or an Irishman. transforming into up, I spent a minimum of sooner or later a week enjoying soccer with foreigners, because it grow to be not a nicely usual game returned then. the transformations in our cultures clarify lots of ways we grow to talk approximately them as such, yet once you get to nicely known the persons, you will discover they're particularly a exciting loving bunch and make as lots exciting of themselves because of the fact the do others. it particularly is only approximately a British comical cultural factor. They make exciting of each others' prominent communities, lots as we do, yet their style of humor comes in the process a dash "off" with the help of our standards. So, only attempt to understand our cultural transformations are what makes us see them because of the fact the "severe and amazing, self-righteous assholes", (that and the reality that we beat them for our independence and incredibly some are nevertheless bitter approximately that.)

    I guess they're bored. I could care less what the Iranians do. Those idiots out torching stuff in the streets are supporting people who were involved bigtime in the original 1979 Islamic revolution. Why would Westerners be supporting them?

    Because the Western World could not afford to go to war with Iran. So we came up with the plan to destablize it.

    What proof is there. And no, just because Khamenei says they did doesn't make it true.

    I know! Damn those Brits for manipulating the Iranian election so a guy who hates the UK would win!

    I don't know if you understand what things are like in America, but we do not have the ability to manipulate to the level of protests that are happening in your country.

    It's their nature. That's what they've been doing for centuries to all unfortunate poor countries around the globe.

    Uh, we AREN'T -- we haven't done anything to their election process.

    A person saying something doesn't make what they say true.

    All evidence suggests the election was rigged.
