On Iran

No one outside Iran is currently sure what's going on inside - some media plainly speak of an Ahmadinejad-win, others are more skeptical. If you were to ask the people in Tehran, a different picture forms - everyone's convinced the election was rigged.

Another one of those pivotal moments in history, as if we hadn't had enough of those already these days. But the acceleration of everything seems to continue, and politics are no exception there. Another people fighting for its freedom, as it seems, having been cheated upon once too often.

The incidents in Iran are almost non-existent in the German internet-based media, safe for a few platitudes copied from news agencies, but excellent coverage on the events can be found on the Huffington Post, as well as at Andrew Sullivan's, although he's a little slower and mire sparse today than yesterday. A lot of additional links can be found there as well.

Whatever is going on in Iran right now, we should know about it - if another Tiananmen were to take place, which God forbade, at least the world should know... Peace to the Iranian people, and perhaps even freedom, at last.
