BUSH SPEAKS ON THE IRAN SHAM ELECTIONS

* The Iranian people deserve a genuinely democratic system in which elections are honest - and in which their leaders answer to them instead of the other way around.

* The Iranian people deserve a truly free and democratic society with a vibrant free press that informs the public and ensures transparency.

* They deserve freedom of assembly, so Iranians can gather and press for reform and a peaceful, loyal opposition can keep the government in check.

* They deserve a free economy that delivers opportunity and prosperity and economic independence from the state.

* They deserve an independent judiciary that will guarantee the rule of law and ensure equal justice for all Iranians. And they deserve a system that guarantees religious freedom, so that they can build a society in which compassion and tolerance prevail.
