IranElections

I am wondering in what proportions western countries are involved in the demonstrations in Iran after the contested results of the presidential elections. When on saturday night, the Twitter bubble started being agitated, raising the #iranelection hastag to the trends, people started another campaign in parallel, against the lack of coverage of the subject on CNN with a #CNNFail. I think CNN was just very careful with the information they got.

In the perspective of Obama's new approach to the middle east, trying to open the dialogue with Iran especially, it is very likely that the US would be very pleased with a change in Iran like Al Jazeera expressed it

"In Washington there was a severe wish to make sure Mousavi [Ahmadinejad's  reformist rival] would be the winner because of the atmospherics and the comfort level in not dealing with Ahmadinejad and dealing with him," Trita Parsi, the president of National American Iranian Council, told Al Jazeera.

I will not refresh your memories with CIA's intervention in other countries so called "revolutions", and I have no other knowledge about Iran's political situation than what I can read in the news, that's why I am so skeptical. What if Ahmadinejad actually won? What if the media coverage in our countries was only reflecting a western opinion (Elections en Iran : Moussavi, le rêve éveillé des médias français) and not the real situation? It is clear that there is a part of Iran that really want a change, and this part is very present on twitter as you can see by following #iranelection. But what proportion of the country does it represent?
What I hope for the Iranian people is that the democracy in the true (Greek) meaning of it (not the US version of it) will win at the end.
