Democracy; lost in transition.

‘Death to the dictator’! ... ‘Death to dictatorship’!

A group of 3000 protestors chanting these slogans amidst the tear gas, water cannon and guns intended to disperse the protestors. The issue is the alleged fraud in the just concluded presidential election. Mousavi, labeled as reformist presidential candidate lost the said election and his supporters took their case to the street.

America of course reminded the Iranian government not to take stiff action to the protestors. This is not the first time America tried to meddle with democratically elected government. Hamas government in Palestine is good example. We all know that America did a good job in restoring and establishing democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq. The citizens of these two countries having the opportnity to ‘Rest In Peace’ right now.

The allegation of election fraud should be investigated based on evidence in a proper tribunal, and not at the street.

I support freedom of expression and I support the freedom of assembly. However, there is no freedom when a country is in chaos. There is no democracy in chaos. At the end, the democracy will loss, lost in transition.
