I'm sure that internet blogs won't change the situation half way around the world. But I have a lot of feelings about the current events going on in Iran. Especially the so called vote-rigging and the safety of the rioters that have been going on.
All I can say is is that Ahmadinejad calling the holocaust a "big deception" is absolutely ridiculous. Not only that, but the political ideologies he believes in, namely his stance on "liberal regimes" can really be summed up in the words, how the hell did you win?
There is no way.
But people are putting too much emphasis on Ahmadinejad for what he said, and not what he's doing. No one's even focusing on Mousavi.
I appreciate the fact that Mousavi is claiming victory and celebrating anyways though. So optimistic he is.
This election is a huge deal in terms of human rights and liberties. It truly shows that under the worst conditions, people still stand up and fight for what they believe in. In this case, their vote. And it's not even the Iranian people. All over the world, images of "Where is my vote?" have been transformed into "Where is their vote?" and the color green (if you didn't know, it is Mousavi's campaign color, mistaken for the color of rebellion.. well I guess you could say it is at the same time,) has been sported all over. What I mean to say is, it's nice that the world takes notice over the issue of a country's election when it involves a true (ish) democratic vote.
Stay safe Tehran, the whole world is praying for you.
