The violence in Iran

When governments become too sure of themselves to even blatantly rig elections and then call them "divine assessment," it is up to the people to take matters into their own hands. Their votes, the institutional right given from the government to the people to give them a voice, did not count. When a right is taken away, especially when it is the most fundamental right to a democracy, matters must be taken outside of the institution.

This is how true democracies are won.

Democracy cannot be bombed onto or forced on by foreigners like we tried to do in Iraq. It has to start at home and in Iran, it is starting.

Even though Mousavi is pro-nuclear and not exactly what the West would hope for in a leader, he is leagues away from the thug Ahmadinejad. It is my sincerest hope that the riots grow stronger in Iran. Ahmadinejad is an arrogant prick and deserves this unrest.

That and I bet on Mousavi, dammit!

LAKERS!!!
