Sunday: June 14th, 2009 - Calls of Congratulations from the World Leaders"

By Sunday, everybody had the same logic to explain the results, just different numbers. One person thought that the authorities had simply mixed the names and the numbers, giving Ahmadi Mousavi's 63% with Mousavi getting Ahmadi's 33%. Others thought it went further then that: 80% for Mousavi, 15% for Karrubi, and Ahmadi getting around 5%. We were next to the husband of a college professor when the basij stormed the campus shooting of tear gas wildly. People were still feeling the sting of robbery, but Ahmadi's statement of dirt and dust at the news conference shown sure didn't help out. The government continued to bus in people to fill the streets in support of Ahmadi. The green movement didn't need this type of fabrication. Nonetheless, a few world leaders to call Ahmadi and offer their congratulations, many coming from countries without fair elections, or no elections. It does show also just important Iran is to the region through its relationships with other parties/countries/organizations, for instance Hizbollah. There was a major feeling in Iran that the Ahmadinejad cabinet directs too many resources to people other than Iranians receiving the distinction of being considered more Arab than Iranian. I hope that he begins to place as much important on ethics and people's choice in the days to come as he did in the days after the election.
