No I don’t think the world should “help,” such an intervention is just the kind of thing Bush would have done and not our place to do! No more interference in foreign affairs.

I’m from Iran. The rural community in Iran consists only 30% of the overall population and not all of them are in favor of Ahmadinejad. the turnout in this election was so high and the people came to vote in order to change the bad situation (both economical and political) which is because of Ahmadinejad’s policies.I live in a small town in the south of Iran and most of the voters cast ballot for Mr Mussavi (ahmadinejad’s rival). Mr Mussavi has many supporters not only in Tehran but in most of cities and also some rural regions.The huge crowd campaigned in streets of most cities to support Mussavi in the days before the election proves his high rate of popularity between persian people. The reports from the polls across the country say Mussavi is the winner but officials in the interior ministry (which is controlled by Ahmadinejad) rigged vote and called Ahmadinejad the winner. The interesting issue is that the percentage of Ahmadinejad’s votes were constant (near 60%) during the counting of ballot papers and this is impossible because at least in large cities the number of Mussavi’s supporters are two or three times to Ahmadinejad’s. Although in the previous elections the number of votes cast for every candidate in each region (each province, each city) was announced, in current election only the overall votes (in the country) was announced. all the evidence signifies a big cheat in this election.
This is really a coup against Iranian people.
