Iran: YouTube, Broadway music and the Election

Global Voices has posted several YouTube videos showing how campaigners in the Iranian elections have used the video sharing website in different ways to promote their favorite candidate - or discredit their opponents.

The above video - in a surprising American touch - compares former Prime Minister, Mir Hussein Mousavi to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the tune of the old Broadway song, ‘Anything You Can Do'. The text at the end of the film concludes that Mousavi is more rational than Ahmadinejad whose policies have damaged Iran's economy.
