I support those protesters completely. Iran has been ripe for something like this for a long time and this election was the catalyst.
These people aren’t stupid. They know when something has been fixed and the understand the scope of time it takes for people to count votes. I mean, it takes a long time here sometimes! I love how Twitter and Facebook has allowed us to see first hand what is going on over there.
The Iranians know that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a dictator that virtually has unlimited power over them with their constitution. And this is where we should be glad there is a separation of church and state in the U.S. . . . . the Clerical Council headed by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khahmenei support Ahmadinejad and have dispatched their own Revolutionary Guard to try to crush the protesters.
Mir Hossein Mousavi, the main contestor of the votes, wants a recount and I think the Iranian people deserve it. They deserve better leadership than a hardlined big mouth in a Members Only jacket and a bunch of clerics who weren’t even elected.
