Iran's Election

Early last week I began trying to determine when exactly it would be likely for us to learn who had won the election in Iran. I contemplated the time zone difference and the small number of Western news outlines operating inside Iran. But truly I didn't contemplate the problems that are now suspected. Will we ever know who really won the election? It would be a shame not to, for so many reasons, not the least of which is the turnout of 85% of Iran's voting population. That is an astounding percentage of people who felt their voice would be heard and needed to be heard. It is another reminder to me of the wonder of our own democracy, warts and all.
