The Iranian government had a historical opportunity to show to the rest of the middle east and world that it was capable of governing democraticaly via an Islamic Republic, regardless of how marginal some parts of their democracy may have been at the time. Everyone knew that the real power rested with Khamenei and not Ahmadinejad. He should have allowed the "REAL" elections results stand as they had been voted by the public and should have allowed the true winner become the president. He could have continued to rule as he has for the past 20 years and the new president's powers would have been curtailed to a level that would have not threatened the status que. However by making the mistake that he did, he has no choice to either give in or to fight the very people that brought him to the power. tough pill to swallow, but it has be done....... only a fool makes that same mistake twice.
