Iran
I didn't even know Iran had had an election until Monday. On Tuesday, I started to realise that not only had they had an election, but the results were hotly contested.
Since then I've been following the aggregated links on the subject at this blog, and this Iranian-American group's offical blog. And the BBC.
I don't know jackshit about the Islamic Republic of Iran - or at least I didn't, before this began. But there are people dying because of peaceful protest for fairness - and the appearance of fairness - in their elections, among other things, and I kind of think that might be worth noting.
I hope things work out better than I expect they will.
