Comment on A disparate nation in mourning by Sanam

@ Annie: A noticeable number of people have voted for Ahmadinejad and many Ahmadinejad supporters don’t think the votes are rigged. We read their views everyday and many of them don’t have any sympathy for Mousavi supporters. There is at least a part of the population that is not with what is now being called “the green wave.” I think this article by my friend who is now in Iran explains the best what I mean:

that’s not an offensive analogy at all, sanam. in fact, it’s quite apt and one i’ve made myself. you’ve watched your nation die, in a way, and now you’re grieving. and like iran grieved for and stood with the U.S. on 9/11, we do the same for you now. i would actually say that what you and your compatriots are experiencing is a lot like what america experienced from the day bush stole the election in 2000 through 9/11. it’s been a little like bad dream you can’t wake from, and it gets a little worse every day. it took us 8 long years to wake up from that nightmare, and we’re still wiping the sleep from our eyes. there is hope, though — change does come. don’t give up.

Our thoughts are with you. I watch all the videos, courageous and horrifying, and I can only say I wish the safety and peace for all Iranians. It sickens me to see how so few can attack their own so viciously. I hope something positive can come out of the blood that was shed and real peace and change can come to Iran. Some Americans are so ignorant, but don’t let that judge your view of us. Iranian people are great and we have so much more in common than we have different. Our governments may fight one another but the people never will. Seeing these heroic protests only deepens Americans affections for your people. Stay safe and be strong, Iran must look ahead not behind. A future leader of Iran is probably in the streets protesting right now.

Neda’s death has schocked all the SANE world and all the people with a piece of humanity! I’m close with all my soul with Iranians that want freedom!

I cried after I saw the video of Neda. It doesn’t seem possible that anyone can aim a gun and shoot a young woman who is peacefully marching.

I can understand how you are feeling Sanam. Before the election, I saw the great enthusiasm of the Iranian people. I felt happy that they had a chance to vote for a candidate who might bring some positive changes. Then, when I heard the election results, that over 40 million ballots had supposedly been counted in a few hours, and that Ahmadinejad had been declared the winner by landslide, I was shocked! Last week, I felt elated that millions of people in Iran were peacefully marching to have their votes honestly counted. When I heard of Khanenei’s Friday dictates, I was shocked at the absolute wrongness of what he had said. He flat out lied to the Iranian people and refused even the smallest real compromise. He has lost all moral legitimacy.

I am checking the news multiple times a day and reading what I can of news from Iran on the internet. I keep hoping there will be some sort of breakthrough, a peaceful way to end the conflict in a just and fair manner. But, I fear that may not come to pass.

I have heard there is a call for a general strike on Tuesday. I hope it will happen. If the economy of Iran grinds to a halt, maybe the hard line rulers of the regime can be forced to back down.

I feel humbled by the courage I have seen! My thoughts and hopes are with the Iranian people!

I have to agree David that Amy Goodman is a good and respected journalist, not a radical demonstrator.
It is such a shame that she was arrested.
It is another example to show our world is all about MONEY.
