Protesters clashed with police in the streets of Tehran Saturday, following the re-election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.The violence broke out Saturday shortly after Iran's interior minister, Sadeq Mahsouli, declared Mr. Ahmadinejad had won 62.6 percent of the vote. The results give the Iranian president nearly twice the number of votes as his closest rival, reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, who won 33.75 percent

I am sympathetic toward these poor protesters. Yes, our own country suffered a terrible tragedy when our Supreme Court appointed Bush to be the worst President in our nation's history. But this situation in Iran is many times worse.
The most highly-trained, best armed, and therefore most effective of Iran's military forces are poised to put these protests down hard and fast. I am hoping (and yes, praying) that the fewest possible number of people are killed or injured. The outcome, unfortunately, is preordained...
Can anyone look into the face of Ahmdinejad when he talks about things like the holocaust and NOT know that this man is capable of almost ANY evil if it serves his interests?
The world needs more Red Riding Hoods and WAY fewer wolves...
