Karrubi issued a statement calling the vote “engineered” and the result of “amateur fixing.” Later Musavi, Karrubi and Khatami, along with his wife (granddaughter of Ayatollah Khomeini) were arrested or placed under house arrest. All leaders of the opposition Islamic Participation Front and the Revolution’s Mujahidin Party have been rounded up.

Student Unrest: Regime riot police are battling students at Tehran University and have reportedly attacked a women’s dormitory. There is also reportedly a unrest at Esfehan University of Technology, where many students have been arrested and the faculty is said to have resigned

What’s the difference between an American voter and an Iranian one?

The Iranian voter recognizes a rigged election.

That was the 'real' purpose of lord McCain's campaign finance reform... power was given to the Jon Stewart MSM to select/advertise the candidate of their choice... And hey the Supremes said that is ok, only certain people are more special than the rest... And we the US citizens supposedly own the airwaves...

and the difference between Ahmadinejad and Mousavi is?

According to Amb John Bolton - not much.

“the extremist builds nuclear weapons and announces his intentions to destroy Israel... while the moderate builds nuclear weapons and is smart enough to keep his mouth shut about his intentions to destroy Israel.”

The extremist wants to stone you dead with sharp rocks.
The moderate will extend mercy—smooth river rocks will be allowed for stoning.

OMG!
I’ll bet that those results would have been similar here if all of the fraudulent ACORN votes were tossed out last November.

The fantasy of a moderate Iran we can work with is Obama’s bainchild.

Point of the lesson is that the youth of Iran have suddenly had to confront the truth that the ruling mullahocracy has zero regard for their vote. There is something to be said for this realization/awakening coming in an election where the differences in the candidates was merely a whisp. There can be no doubt that it was the vote of the people that was pissed upon by the mullahocracy, it had nothing to do with deep ideological threat to the mullahs! Now, with this awakening, perhhaps the Persian people will see why freedom is so valuable and so distant from them.

” Regime riot police...have reportedly attacked a women’s dormitory”

Obviously, they need to deal with the toughest opponents first/sarcasm
