Iranian Presidential Candiate/Blogger
Folks around the blogoshpere are starting to question if the first blogging President will be Iranian. Mostafa Moeen, a reformist party candidate running for president of Iran, is blogging to his peeps.
This blog could be about cooking recipies for all I know, but Hossein Derakhshan, a sound blogger who writes about technology and pop culture in Iran, has been paraphrasing what the site says.
Thanks Hossein, this is a pretty amazing evolution taking place.

Mostafa Moeen, the former minister of education who was sacked after 2003 students uprising in Iran. The same uprising who resulted in the torture and murder of Zahra Kazemi, Canadian journalist in Evin prison in Tehran.
Really shame on you people. No my friend, Iranians will boycott this election totally and they will accept nothing less than a national referendum to choose a secular constitution. And derakhshan's propaganda to show otherwise will only fall in the ears of ignorants like you.

You are of course free to censor my words in your blog but please make it clear so visitors know I have no knowledge of what are you talking about.

Mr. Iranian Student,
We cover how the internet is used in Politics from a nonpartisan view point.
I'm sorry Moeen's actions makes you angry but, that's beyond the scope of are niche.
I'm extending the vitrual olive branch.
