Germany’s Merkel condemns Iran vote. (Obama is silent)

Michael Ledeen: Still silence from the White House and Foggy Bottom.  This is the most cowardly, immoral non-reaction I can remember.  I resigned from my job at the State Dept back in 81 when I thought we were appeasing the Soviets’ repression of Poland, but this is much worse…

Islamist Militia opens fire on protesters; 1 dead, several injured (Man shot in head (WARNING GRAPHIC!) http://twitpic.com/7hbae)

TEHRAN, Iran - Shots were fired Monday at a rally by pro-reform presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, apparently by pro-government militia.

An Associated Press photographer saw one person shot dead and several others who appeared to be seriously wounded in Tehran’s Azadi Square. The shooting came from a compound for volunteer militia linked to Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard.

“There has been sporadic shooting out there … I can see people running here,” added a reporter of Iran’s English-language Press TV.

An Iranian news photographer said protesters had attacked the compound, and that members of the Basij religious militia then opened fire.

Hundreds of thousands of Mousavi backers had defied an Interior Ministry ban to cheer their leader in his first public appearance since elections he claims were marred by fraud. The government says President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won re-election with 63 percent of the vote.

    What are the DIFFERENCES between Ahmadinejad and this MUSSAVI?

    NONE.They are both Israel's existence deniers,pro-Nuclear weaponry
    development...

    As we use to say in Brazil,it will be like change six by half a dozen.

    Democracy and Islam CAN'T coexist.To think otherwise is plain
    stupidity and to ignore Islamic history and its deeply rooted antagonism
    with secularism.

    The Ayatullahs knows very well that "MEN CAN'T LEGISLATE,BUT ALLAH",
    thus all this FARCE called "Iranian Elections" can't be taken seriously at all.
    It's just a play to entertain Iranian internal issues and as a P.R. effort to
    show the world that Iran has "free elections".

    The truth is diametrically opposed to all of this.

    There may be a slight hope that this could lead to a revolution, to the overthrow of the theocracy. Note, I said "slight". I'm not holding my breath.
