Iran's Election

I don't really have much to say except that I'm amazed by how brave Iranians are being and really hope (although I doubt it) that the Obama administration or any other Western power helps with the Democratic process. I'm following IranRigged twitter feed for updates. I'm really hoping something good will come of it.

"We are going to stay in the streets and ask the mullahs to give fatwas that Ahmedinejad is not our president. We are going to ask the Leader, through the will of the people, to change his mind," said Mostafa Makhmalbaf, who is speaking to the foreign press on Mousavi's behalf from his home in Paris.

"I don't think we can do a total Revolution in Iran but we can make some change," he told ABC News, describing what would be an unprecedented reversal for the Islamic Republic.

Update: Sign the petition for Google Earth to update its images so the protest can followed. (It might help..who knows.)

Update 2: WH response:

That said, the primary concerns the White House has about Iran are not about free and fair elections. The concerns are: Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and its support for terrorism.

"We have to deal with the Iran that we have rather than the Iran that we wish we had," says the official.

Suddenly the Obama administration is about being a realist instead of "Hope!" & "Change!" Way to be a bold and different leader President Obama, glad you are not willing to help the oppressed and who want real democracy. Gag inducing really.
