If this situation were reversed — if Mousavi were declared the winner and Ahmedinejad and his supporters were protesting — we’d be calling Ahmedinejad a sore loser who is trying to subvert the legal electoral process.

All the more reason for us to stay out of it…

The western media is inclined to believe the opposition over the official line, because they are more like us, and the blogosphere has been reporting one-sided accounts, based largely on the fact that only the upper classes (most likely to vote against the current regime) have internet access or can communicate in English.

I’m not saying it’s a set-up, just that we don’t have all the facts yet. We all need to breathe.

Another interesting idea that I haven’t heard expanded on much is the fact that Obama has a real chance to make change we can believe in. Seems like the old Washington would have meddled, and this is a chance for the new Washington to let these people make their own destiny, and revolutionize their nation, just we did here.
