iran election 2009 - shit is blowing up



In Iran's 2009 presidential election, incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was projected by analysts to have severe trouble overcoming the surge of support surrounding rival (former PM) Moussavi. After a seemingly unrealistic end result of 62% for Ahmadinejad, the country has been engulfed in unrest and even violent protest - both things outlawed under Iranian law. Nearly 60% of Iran's population is youthful and overwhelmingly supports Moussavi. Additionally, the claim that rural areas staunchly support Ahmadinejad is thought to be a lie by many Iranians. The end result is as feeling of staggering injustice and confusion, and the populace has taken to the streets in defiance of the government.
