Iranian election

I've been trying to follow this as I think it's a pivotal moment. I had pretty high hopes leading up to the election and it looks like the country did too. People are dying for their right to representation and are finding ways to report it even as the state run media tries to blot them out. They shut down hardwire internet but Twitter via phone has been a lifeline of observations and photos.

Here's some good news - the most senior Ayatollah has denounced the election.

This is huge. It not only will hopefully bring real change to Iran but shows the world that their crazy government does not represent the people. Their middle class has developed and changed the landscape and it's time for them to bust out of their shell.
