Ayotollah vs. Ayatollah, as far as I have read into it. One is anti-Ahmadinejad due to Ahmadinejad's outspoken attacks on corruption. The other, ruling Ayatollah knows that the other wants to come to power so to keep the other from raising more hell and getting more attention and power the rulling Ayotollah has leaned toward allowing a recount to get Moussavi in...either way doesn't matter because the "president" is an underling...

Problem is, if Moussavi gets in then America's "Democracy" gets in, which means another puppet for the US...and if Ahmadenijad stays in, we'll keep seeing signs on CNN in english for the obvious reason--to keep pressure on the ruling Ayotolah and keep building support for the other, more "democracy" friendly Ayotolah.

Pretty much either way you look at it, the US has its interests at stake, so there is contraversy on both sides of things.

The noteworthy thing is that polls taken before the election by OUT OF COUNTRY pollsters calling Iranians indicated an overwhelming lead for Ahmadenijad. Ultimately who the hell knows?
