Rethinking Iran

My last post was very pessimistic about the situation in Iran. I guess I still doubt we will see the election nullified or even recounted. But today I heard an Iranian diplomat speaking on the radio, who suggested that the UN could get involved in demanding a recount. I hope that international diplomatic efforts and national civic action are strong enough to initiate a recount. The more the Iranians demand accountabililty, and the more pressure we all apply through media and diplomacy, the more likely there are to be results. Maybe it's not impossible. And if not this time, next time for sure;)
