It was bound to happen. Iran has a population that’s looking for change: 65 percent are under age 30, 70 percent of college and university students are women, and literacy is close to 100 percent. We just need to let them know that we’re with them… but we’re not going to blow their country to smithereens to achieve “democracy.”

Very brave people indeed…can you imagine if we had rioted this way against Bush?
Of course one would never suspect the US of fomenting any such internal riots, eh?
Christine is so right…the Persians are ready to toss off an anachronistic system that is far more complex than any view of the country as a mere dictatorship. The way we view this through the Western press is politicized and framed….another evil dictator that doesn’t much like the US-… lets mistranslate some more of his quotes to serve our media Masters agenda.
NOT to justify Ahm

It would be nice to get rid of the religous government in Iran, and perhaps this is the start of it (and perhaps not).
The election itself seems impossible to have an opinion about, with regard to fairness. The Western Press hoped for someone else to win, but was that a realistic hope? No way to tell, and we’ll probably never know in our lifetime if, or how much, the election was rigged.

I for one would have welcomed Jimmy Carter as an election monitor… although I suppose that may have been too ironic, given what happened in the late 70′s – the hostage situation, the “secret” arms deals behind Carter’s back, done by Reagan’s henchmen.
But hey, even without Jimmy’s monitoring, we know this election was a sham!

Robert Fisk has a good article here on this huge event in Iranian politics.
A Persian friend sent it to me as she was enroute there.

I agree. The government wouldn’t bother to cheat if it didn’t need to, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the majority does in fact support the government. But it’s clear that a large segment does not.

I don’t think we have that kind of power.
