This whole Iran thing is a joke. Who cares who won or lost? The clerics will still be in charge. Ill be glad when this non story fades to the background?

The Iranian people aren’t really protesting the vote.

The theft of the election by the ruling mullahs was only the straw that broke the camel’s back for the Iranian people, and it’s what caused them to finally stand up to demand a major change in their government.

That’s why they’re protesting in the millions. They want the mullahs out.

It's not actually a joke. Many citizens of Iran have been outright butchered. The mullahs are in danger of losing their power. In fact the lesser of the two evils, Mousavi, wants to eliminate the Basij, which is a good thing.

At any rate, it is never a joke when people who go onto the streets, no matter what country, and peacefully demonstrate their dissatisfaction with an election that they are gunned down, beaten to death and stabbed to death.
