Elections are underway in Iran, and you can read all about them at the BBC. Iranians are apparently boycotting the elections, in the hopes of showing the world their disillusionment with the regime in power (and, for the lack of a real political opposition).
Hossein Derakhshan, a blogger from Toronto, is a good source for news about Iran. Hossein has asked bloggers in Iran not to vote, but to report about the election. If you are interested in what people in Iran have to say about the election, you can read their thoughts here.

[Posted by ramanan on February 20, 2004 12:15 PM]i think the reason why i refrain from following the events is that it aggravates me too much. (i don't know why i'm commenting on your blog, when i could easily be talking to you in person! :)

A simple blog of sorts. Updated sporadically at best. Here you will find my opinions on various topics of interest to me, or the goings on of my day. Yes, it's quite exciting I know.
Next: The Reading Long Weekend.
