Come on Iran

I know that the Democracy in Iran is weak at best, but their current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has publicly denied the Holocaust having happened and is openly anti-American, has some serious competition. I don't know much about Mir Hossein Mousavi, a former Iranian Prime Minister and currently the strongest competitor to the President, but I know this: President Ahmadinejad is a hardline extremist, and new leadership could potentially lead to a beneficial, if tenuous Iran-US relationship that could positively alter the way we look at the Middle East. Here's rooting for change.
