It's heartbreaking to contrast the hope and the spirit of the people pushing for change in Iran last week to the murder and chaos today. It was stirring to see women refusing to be cowed, demanding freedom and modernism be brought to the country. So many people, so much hope.

And since this is my journal and not a circumspect newspaper: A rigged vote. That twat Ahmadinejad crushing all that hope and causing bloodshed by rigging the election and trapping Iran in that hateful cycle yet again. That utter twat Ayatollah Khamenei refusing to have the balls to support an investigation (I guess human rights aren't too much of an issue). Well, until the people continued fighting and demanded and pushed and showed such bravery in refusing to be cowed.

Why are the EU and Obama being so crap about it all? You're 'disappointed' and 'concerned'? Stern words! That'll show 'em.

I hope that the general public in Iran overturn this absolute travesty, this joke of an election. I hope that, if our leaders can't or won't express more than 'disappointment', that people the world over give their support and their empathy to these people.
