Sara Hasani, a young Iranian who led Mousavi's green campaign in her local neighborhood, alleged Saturday that "they (the government) robbed us of Mousavi's victory."
"It is simply not possible that Ahmadinejad is winning with about 70% of the votes," she said.
"They cannot give us hope and take it away from the people. It appears Ahmadinejad has successfully manipulated the campaign scene better than we thought. Our votes are meaningless. It's a cruel joke."
Whether or not the reformers win anything or a full blow revolution takes place, I think the important part is that there seems to be a majority of people in Iran that desire better ties with the west. It may happen over night but more likely, it will be a process over time but there is something from this that is positive.
Those in power in Iran didn't think the election mattered, either. Ahmedinejad believes himself to be the winner, that's pretty much all it takes. Now, the blood of innocents will be shed and it will be business as usual in Iran, as they continue to produce nuclear energy - all on the up-and-up according to Obama, of course.
Saying it's hypocritical for us, the only country that nuked others, to try and decide who should and shouldn't have nukes is not advocating an arms race.
It's not, "the only country that nuked others"....it should be, "the only country that nuked another".
It was the first bomb made and it was a toy compared to what's possible today. Hypocrite or not, now is not the time to get manners....I don't know how big the bombs Iran will be able to make are but, the bomb we dropped on Japan was 17 kilotons and today there are missiles capable of carrying 3600 kilotons...that's more than 200 times the size of "little boy". It's only a matter of time before N. Korea and Iran make much larger bombs as well.
If Ahmedinejad is the new president we should bomb the **** out of Iran and destroy all there nuclear capabilities, but this would never happen under Obama as he is also Muslim and is not a fan of our country!
