Voting in Iran

The Times: Reports of a heavy turn out in the Presidential Election in Iran, this is seen as giving support to the opposition to President Ahmadinejad. If Iran can change path and turn to a more moderate regime this could prevent an Israeli attack on Iran and allow for talks with the Obama Administration. Lets see if the religious elite steal the election, stealing elections is not new to Iran or other countries.

Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that another British Soldier has died in Afghanistan. In all the UK has lost 138 Armed Forces Personnel in combat. In total the Afghanistan death toll stands at 167. This is going to be a long war, more deaths with very little result for the UK and Afghanistan.
