Iran gives the West the (purple) finger
Looks like the Bush administration's anti-poll rhetoric really had an effect on Iran -- unfortunately it was precisely the opposite effect they were looking for. It will be interesting to see how things progress now that Tehran's hardline former mayor is in charge (well, Ayatollah Khameni is really in charge, but there you go, Iranian democracy...) Then again, maybe they're more like us than we think: the Iranian poll has its own complaints of vote fraud...)

So far, the Iranian blogosphere is responding to the landslide poll result with despair, but the truth is, nobody really knows what's in store for the West now, although two things are clear: nuclear talks between Iran, the E.U. and the U.S. just got a lot more complicated, and Iran just became the next Venezuela, complete with tons of oil for the nationalizing, and a leader not predisposed to pro-American feelings.
