World: More interesting stuff from the Iran election dramarama

  • We were struck by this quote by an Iranian state employee: “They have totally fooled us. This time they went too far. They just want to eliminate ‘republic’ and turn this into an Islamic dictatorship.”
  • The liberal-leaning Daily Kos has a snarky bit on what’s transpired: “The Iranian election thieves gave Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 62% of the vote, 11% more than he needed. That’s just wasteful.”
  • The protests have gotten more violent, and there’s lots of photographic proof of how bad it’s gotten. The Washington Post has a really good selection of some of the day’s most interesting photos.
