Iran Election Result

I think Mousavi would indeed be a step in the right direction. Not a leap, but a step.

Think of it this way: Ahmadinejad is a D-, Mousavi is a D+.

But I think these protests go beyond this one election. There may be some people in the crowd who are legitimately Mousavi supporters and are only protesting because they want him to be President, but I get the impression that a lot more are protesting because they're upset with the way their country is being run. In other words, the protests are more anti-Ahmadinejad and anti-clerics than pro-Mousavi. There are probably plenty of people protesting that Mousavi would throw in jail if he were in charge.
