replies: text: that is right. there has been a debate for a long time that resurfaces at every presidential election year that whether the word "rejal" was actually meant to be taken literally as "men" or not. although it seems the guardian council interprets it as "men" but they have never officially anounced it. for every election they accept and register female candidates but then they (the guardian council) dont' let them pass through the qualification stage.
*Plus, even though the Islamic people of Iran say that women can become physicians, lawyers, engineers, and so on, in practice most people don't expect women to go beyond high school.  As far as I remember when I lived there more than a decade ago, the parents of women always worked energetically to sell their daughters to successful men.  -- 03:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

text: women can and have become physicians, lawyers, engineers, and so on in Iran. Iran has a female vice president (vice president and head of enviromental protection organization) and there are also many female members of parliament. during Khatami's government, there was a female provincial governor and there are a few female mayors and hundreds of female city council members currently holding office in Iran. and about education, it has now been a few consecutive years that more female students (more than 50%) have entered universities than male students. All of this of course does not mean everything is well and ok for Iranian women, but nevertheless it proves your remarks are false.
*rstepp@sw.rr.com* Not so much false as mistaken...
*Iran's Vice President for Environmental Protection in 2006 is Fatemeh Javadi though she looks like a mullah protege with so much clothes that I wonder how she manages to walk up a few stairs without tripping.  Nor can she push a small box across the table without getting strangled with the chador and scarves underneath secured in place with several safety pins.  Honestly, what is with all this game?Patchouli 07:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Vandalism

message: "In contrast with most republics, the effective head of Iran's political establishment is not the president [...]"
I consider this sentence quite problematic. I for one am living in a parliamentary republic in which the role of the president is more ceremonial than executive. Compared to that, the president of Iran holds immense power in his hands.
I guess that the sentence was written by an American who had a presidential republic in his mind, unaware that there are many parliamentary republics around the world where the executive power of the president - either "de iure" or "de facto" - is very limited.

replies: text:  The President is in many systems head of state, but the office is also usually divorced from the political process and constrained by it, except in the US where two roles are apparently combined.  It seems to me the office of Iranian President is more analogous to a Prime Minister in a typical democratic system (so comparisons would be with Sarkozy, Brown, etc).

thread_title:  "In contrast with most republics [...]" 

message: I have issue with the accuracy of the term "Head of Government" at the top of the page, especially considering it is directly contradictory with the first paragraph of the article. I have no expertise on the government of Iran personally, so I would invite someone with greater knowledge on this issue to clarify this or to replace the statement with something more accurate.

thread_title:  Head of Government 

message: I've readded the  box that's been removed a few times    and then readded by me. The reasoning of the editor that removed it is "no other template put a country's elections with the President. There is a separate section for this and it belongs in Elections in Iran". My reasoning is that it directly addresses the article as it has a list of "Iranian presidential elections". Another article that has an elections box in the presidents article is President of the United States which has  in it. I've invited the editor to this page to discuss it. Ha!

message: It says that the president is directly voted by the people as here:[The President is elected for a four-year term by the direct vote of the people and may not serve for more than two consecutive terms.] this contradicts with the protests and the letters leaked by groups.

thread_title:  Living former Presidents 

message: Not sure what's up with this but this paragraph is repeated either verbatim or slightly modified no less than 3 times in the article, and even basically given its own section. What's up with that?
"The President carries out the decrees, and answers to the Supreme Leader of Iran, who functions as the country's head of state.[3][4] Unlike the executive in other countries, the President of Iran does not have full control over anything, as these are ultimately under the control of the Supreme Leader.[5][6]"
