Mamoud Ahmadinejad - Mir Hussein Mosavi - Iranian President 2009 election
sourced by WisdomMountain
"Where Is My Vote" - This is the vital question being asked by Iranians in Iran and around the globe.
They are puzzled how Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won a landslide vistory at last Friday's hotly disputed Iran presidential election.
Ahmadinejad,52,known for his strong stance to make Iran the world's next nuclear power, reportedly swept to his second term as Iran's 10th President "winning 63 percent" of the popular vote.
This strong showing against reformist challenger and former Prime Minister Mir Hossein Mousavi has sparked street protests and riots in Tehran and elsewhere over the past two days.
Iran powerful supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has thrown his support behind Ahmadinejad,urging the divided electorate to unite.
Meanwhile,Mousavi who earlier claimed he had won the election as Iran next president is not taking his "defeat" in silence.
He has lodged an appeal with the powerful Guardian Council to cancel Friday's vote result calling on his supporters to go on with their protests peacefully.
He also alleged vote fraud and irregularities.
Overseas Iranians staged demonstrations with blown-up images of the vital question:"Where Is My Vote" outside Iranian embassies in Kuala Lumpur,London,Paris and The Hague,the Netherlands.
The dispute on "Who Has Won" the Iran President post will be discussed around the globe.
The legitimacy of Ahmadinejad "re-election" is under a cloud of doubt and dismay as the vote result is disputed as to whether it is truly "real and free" as claimed by Ahmadinejad.
Ahmadinejad's immediate press conference after the announcement of the election result that "The election will improve the nation's power and its future." would produce the opposite impact as Iranians feeling "cheated" of four years of potential positive reforms show their public wrath.
Already,public anger,unrest and riots have erupted.
More such scenes of civil disobedience are expected.
Those with strong conscience, love for their homeland and concern for Iran future and respect on the world stage would want truth and justice to prevail.
One has the natural right to say "NO" to any illegitimate regime and topple it.
We will see more eventful drama unfolding in Iran in the days ahead.

"MAJORITY IS IMPORTANT"
Where is my Vote? this question is asked by people who havent voted for Mr. Ahmadinejad. Many people have voted for Mr. Ahmadinejad and i know them. If Mr. Ahmadinejad would have lost the election i would have been disappointed but would have accepted that the majority of people want some other contender to come. But i dont know why the people who havent voted for Mr. Ahmadinejad are not accepting the fact that the "MAJORITY IS IMPORTANT".
The person who gets the majority of votes is the president. I am saying this for the people who dont understant/who dont want to understand.
Thanks

It's simply because it appears impossible for some people to live even one day more without freedom.
One day you will know why FREEDOM IS IMPORTANT

Dear Friends
I would like to thank you for organising the Sunday demonstration. I also would like to offer my supports. The regime is trying to win by using force and creating fear. They are using force to silence the movement and we need to use strike and direct confrontation tactics to challenge the regime. However we don’t have to limit our options to strike and direct confrontations. There are alternative ways to challenge the regime in addition to direct confrontation. Alternatives: Peaceful demonstration: Regime is using full force to stop the mass protest. They have posted as many Basiji and Police in every corner to stop people joining together. Suggestion: They are stopping the people of going to a street but they cannot stop the cars. We can use our cars to drive to city at the certain day and time. E.g. Tuesday 2:00 pm and everyone stop their cars at the same time and hunk their horn at same hours for 10 minutes or more. They cannot stop everyone cars and if any Basiji decided to attack any car, people from other car can help each other to confront them. We can repeat this protest every day. Financial confrontation: While the best approach is organising strikes but there isn’t any organisation that can organise strike among different industry. Yet we did not have any union during the 1979 revolution and have succeeded to organise strike in many different industry. We know Islamic Coalition Party (Jamiete Motalefeh) represents Bazaar is one of the strongest supporter of the Khameni and Ahamdi Negad. Bazaar was an important player in 1979 revolution. They not only finance the revolution but also they were one of the important factors that allowed Ayatollah Khomeini take over the revolution. I don’t believe Bazzar is going to strike to support the Movement while the movement may put their financial interest at risk. Experience: Iranian had succeeded to stand up to the regime and their foreign supporters during 1891Tobacco Protest (Jonbeshe Tabaco). The boycott of Tabaco by people defeated the government policy. Suggestion: We need to boycott certain product for a period of time or indefinitely to hurt the Bazzar financially and hopefully push them away from Khamanie. We may not be able to move Bazzar to support the movement but we can push them to the middle ground. Other suggestions:People stop paying their utility bills People fill their cars with petrol and not pay the petrol stations as most petrol stations are in the ownership of regime or revolutionary guards. People stop using their car one day a week and lack of the traffic in a city such as <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Tehran will be a peaceful demonstration itself.
