The people of Iran have decided in the election which path they wanted to take and i think we should avoid meddling in the internal affairs of a country. We can report on the events but taking sides should be decided once we know the reality.
Sitting far away from the real situation and only depending on limited anti government people with access to media outlets bias our judgment.
Ahmedinejad has a vast majority of voters in the rural and far flung areas of Iran with no access to media and Twitter and hence their absence should not be taken as a fact that he do not have support.
Anyways, i agree that Freedom is the basic right of human being and we should strive to let the people have it.
Cheers

Freedom requires the free exchange of information. I am proud of the Iranian people for choosing freedom over extremism, and all of us that believe in freedom should support them. If the Iranian government had nothing to hide, then why would they attempt to block communications?

Revolution is Beautiful!

@Yigal! The right for one person might be wrong for the other! So its a very vague term when it comes to clash of ideologies.
In case you mean the result of the elections, even US intelligence believes that Ahmedinejad had a margin over Mosavi as said in the NYTimes article by David Ignatius on June 16, 2009. I will share few of the lines for the reference of our readers

U.S. intelligence officials tell me that it’s quite possible that Ahmadinejad actually did win Friday’s election — though with a lower total than the 63 percent that the regime is claiming. “It would appear that the results are inflated,” said one official, reflecting what he said was the preliminary judgment of the intelligence community. But he cautioned: “Our ability to peer into the Iranian election machinery is very limited.”

There is no obligation to remain neutral in every case.
When there is a clear choice between right and wrong, neutrality itself becomes wrong.
So, yes, I think they can justify their actions.
