The newly re-elected President of Iran is claiming that the vote that took place on June 12 was "Real and Free". Stating that this was a historic
election and that the landslide he won by was too large of a margin to have been cheated. But in the aftermath of the election Iranians are protesting
wildly on the streets and battling police just a small distance away from where Ahmadinejad had given his acceptance speech. These riots have been
called the worse since the Islamic Revolution back in 1979.
This sounds like Iran is going to be a treasure chest of trouble for the forseeable future. I wish we had this sort of passion in the US especially
when it came to feeling as if we'd been cheated. Whats everyone else think?
