Hi! Thanks for reply.

To my mind, the whole situation can be described
with Nelson Algren’s words about 1960 election.
I don’t remember exact phrase, but it was something like this:

Whoever will win this election, the only consolation
for me would be the other’s loss

hi again
just today i met an Iranian guy in subway and while taking him to the needed street, we spoke a bit. and when he got to know that we know about Ahmadinejad and elections, he immediately uttered: oh, great you know that, but we hate him. it so awful. riots all along the streets. and innocent people being killed in these riots. and those elections were not fair. and everybody knows that.

so,the reality is that Iranian people are disappointed and depressed but they are as if disabled people or bed-ridden patients in this situation.
