I’m repeatedly amazed how certain people want governments to pay attention to smallish protests at the (relatively) UC Berkeley of Iran, but wrote off the largest protests in the history of the world.

By the way, the government of Iran is heavily influenced by the Guardian Council, but their choice for President, Larijani, didn’t even get to the second round in their elections. Ahmadenijad got elected because a) the GC is kinda lazy/greedy, and b) they elected the relatively pro-Western Khatami twice and it got them nothing.
