It is is nice to see that the Iranians are standing up and protesting their governments crooked election. Just like George W. Bush's stolen election in 2004. I don't know what purpose this serves but whatever I like to see people fighting for their rights... The Irianian gov't needs change from its current regime...

My mother is Iranian, although I've never been there I'm rooting them on! they need to kick the supreme leader out before the country sees a real "change" in the presidential diplomacy... Iran's president is pretty much under the power of the supreme leader an the mullahs.

My mother has been on the phone with her parents which are hiding because of their religious beliefs(non-Muslim)They talk about the authorities who regularly come around their neighbourhood searching for non-Muslim and non-supporters of the government, they hang/execute you if you don't agree with them(sad fact)
