I really like that last photo. It's almost as good (but not quite) as the famous photo of the Tank Man.
Iran is an interesting country; the people are well-educated, and generally pro-Western and pro-liberty (if only their government would let them). I was listening to NPR some time ago and the author of this book was on, discussing her experiences in Iran after growing up in California. The book is a few years old by now, but it's excellent, and really gives a good picture of what's going on in that country.
My only gripe about this election ruckus is that Iranians seem to think that if only the election was fair, and their candidate got elected, that they'd have someone better as President. But America had free & fair elections, and we got stuck with 8 years of Bush.
