Default Iran's "pretend" elections....

Iran's elections are being held currently.

Iran pretends to be a democracy, yet an unelected "Guardian Council" decided who could stand for election, and banned 40% of proposed candidates for their "unislamic values" !

I thinkwe should pretend to drop a nuclear bomb on the lot of them. Only for a laugh, make it a real one.
