Before MJ died, this was being reported as if it was the only thing happening in the world. I honestly believe Ahmedinejad won the election; at least that's what the election and recount numbers are showing (by a good amount also), as well as random polls being conducted in Iran. There are also many very large pro-Ahmedinejad rallies that are not being spoken of. In fact the Iranian electoral watchdog has already considered this case closed: http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=99431§ionid=351020101
But before someone says "OMG AHMEDINEJAD FAN! TERRORIST!", I don't support either candidates. I'm not Iranian, and the election doesn't effect my life in any way. Frankly I don't even care enough to visit this thread more than a couple times and read all of the posts. The reality is, the media is blowing things out of proportion, and is causing, at least partially, a rise in the uproar. Does anyone really believe this Mousavi guy is a symbol for change, freedom, and revolution in Iran? Because that's a big joke. Iranian Presidents don't have control over fundemental matters of the Iranian republic - even if he did become president, he'd only manage things on an economical, municipal, and civil level. Taxes, streets, businesses, and laws on a very basic level. The country's real leadership is its Supreme Leader. Does anyone here really think that Mousavi has power to change Iran into a "free republic" and get rid of its conservative laws? Only Khamanei and other Ayatollahs have the power to do that. The president of Iran is merely a figurehead and frontman.
