Now texting, most websites and all cell phones in Iran are shut down by the government as violence breaks out over Ahmadinejad's supposed 62% win over Mousavi 34%. Prior to the elections it was expected to be a near split between the two candidates. Video from earlier today:

It is very very sad. :-((( Hoping so much for the reform candidate and at least for a little bit of change. These hopes are destroyed now, but I am not surprised. Are you? I feel very sorry for the people there who cannot experience freedom and are suppressed still.
Also as we can imagine the results must be faked. :-(((
We need to go liberate them!!!
funny, when the people would probably welcome our help we make "cautious statements" and when they don't want us around we rush over with tanks to liberate. Ummmm.
Read a bumper sticker that said, "Don't fuck with USA or we will spread democracy to your country."
heh!
