The Fist Comes Down

Let's hope that skull cracking and mass deaths at that hands of military gunfire do not become the next step in Iran.

The supreme leader has determined that the Iranian vote was just fine.

So much for what amounts to be a theocratic dictatorship.

CNN: Iran's supreme leader rejects vote fraud claims
In his first speech since the June 12 election outcome sparked the country's worst unrest in 30 years, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the vote accurately reflected the will of the people and accused "enemies of Islam" of stoking anger.

"There is a difference of 11 million votes. How can vote-rigging happen?" he added.

Easy if your counting. You just make up the numbers. The Soviets had elections where their candidates got 99% of the vote and the other guy went to a gulag. In Iran it's looking like this is where they've opted to go.
