The young affluent pro-western generations are used, manipulated by the old hand westerner policy makers. Once Mir Hossein Mousavi. Unfortunate if elected, the iran-contra will again repeat the history. And rich oil field will be guarded, occupied and owned by the Mir Hossein Mousavi/ western oil giants. And Mousavi will be another billionaires just like the pureu pro-western president. Dozens of people have been killed in clashes between indigenous people and police in Peru. The Indians have been protesting against laws which will open up communal jungle lands and water resources to oil drilling, logging and mining. Al Jazeera's Teresa Bo reports from Bagua Grande in Peru. Be very aware, the “green party” is heavy-hand funded by the west to overthrow Ahmadinejad which is a bone in the throat for the profit grip westerner. The one fooled is a victim. google "leuren moret" don't forget to support the real news whom provide us the public forum to debate and discuss. .

Private property rights are a source of wealth for individuals that help explain high GDP`s in developed counties that have them.Extractive corporations and agribusinesses ignore indegenous peasant farmers/hunters and think only of the resource land itself and perhaps local cheap labour or farmers reduced to serfs for the profits of seed/pesticide companies.Obama could make a difference here and at least speak out for the weak, unrepresented people with whom he could identify and for the environment.Bet his owners won`t let him though.

Can't fault the indigenous people are rebelling. Unrestrained capitalism roaring through the rape the resources. Just like Royal Dutch Shell in the Niger Delta.
