Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been declared the big winner in the country's election, but his chief rival and supporters in the Tehran streets are crying foul. The government said on Saturday that Ahmadinejad won Friday's presidential election with 62.63 percent of the vote and Mir Hossein Moussavi received 33.75 percent of the vote. Before the vote count ended, Moussavi issued a sharply worded letter urging the counting to stop because of "blatant violations" and lashed out at what he indicated was an unfair process.
Moussavi said the results from "untrustworthy monitors" reflects "the weakening of the pillars that constitute the sacred system" of Iran and "the rule of authoritarianism and tyranny." Independent vote monitors were banned from polling places.
How long will the United States allow this jackass to be in power and continue to cause tension in the mid east?
