Iranian Election
I don’t follow the news quite as closely I did before 9/11, but I do read the news every day and this Iranian election mess has gone on much longer than I expected it would.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has done a decent job of suppressing the media, but hasn’t been able to quiet everyone. There is still Internet access there and people are still able to get images and video out of the country.
While I consider myself an optimist, I am not very optimistic about the situation in Iran. I don’t see a new election in the future. I see Mahmoud Ahmadinejad snuffing out all those who stand in his way. The bloodshed is only going to get worse in the upcoming days. This isn’t going to end well.
