Iran: The Fabrication of Democracy
(Israel Hayom) Dr. Tamar Eilam Gindin - 1/3 of eligible Iranian voters voted on Friday for the Iranian parliament, many of them soldiers bused to the polls. The Guardian Council, whose 12 members are directly or indirectly appointed by the supreme leader, filtered out the reformists, including 90 serving parliamentarians. Iranians seeking change had no one for whom to vote. The writer is a scholar of ancient Persia and modern Iran at Shalem College in Jerusalem.
