I talk to Iranians on the internet and they run the gamut from moderates to theocrats to atheists. In just the past year or so I talked to one who was a pacifist and wanted to get to the U.S. to avoid serving in the Iranian army, and I also talked to some douche nozzle who watched too many Rambo movies and wanted to come here to join our military because we kick so much ass. There is not one Iranian "type" anyone can try to construct. I am disappointed that Ahmadinejad was apparently reelected, but that says more about democracy than it does about Iran. We reelected Bush, who had a lot more blood on his hands than Ahmadinejad does.

The results are still fishy, and no one has really claimed they are legitimate. I'm not really sure what's going to result and I wouldn't be surprised if this is some kind of coup.

No way that this is a legitimate election. Ahmadinejad has the military at his disposal. Now that his opponent has backed down, it will be a long wait for
the next election. Many Iranians, disgusted by the Ahmadinejad regime, will
turn out in even larger numbers; people tend to resent stolen elections.
I don't see how anyone who isn't working for the Iranian government can really know with certainty what the true results were. But it doesn't matter, Ahmadinejad is sufficiently popular with enough of his country that he won't be toppled from power. The only silver lining is that the Iranian presidency is fairly constitutionally weak. But we'll still have to see his stupid face on television...
