Another error: Khamenei coming out and openly revealing how uncommitted he is to justice. I'm sure that shook the faith of many in him as a holy man.

That does seem to be the case. Khamenei jumped the gun with his almost-immediate backing of Ahamenijad after the election. Had he waited a decent period (and told Ahamenijad to produce a realistic result instead of the obviously fake landslide), these protests likely would not have happened. Ahamenijad has enough support that a reasonably close election with a good show of counting ballots likely would have persuaded the people of the election's legitimacy. Instead, results were announced before it was reasonable for all the ballots to have been counted.

Given the exhortations of the Qu'ran for honesty and fair dealing, for a mullah to become attached to such connivance is a huge blunder; in one single act Khamenei removed any claim of legitimacy the Iranian Republic might have once had.

It's almost serendipitous how many missteps there have been.

That is my presisely point. There have been uncounted hundreds of Neda's.

It just irks me to no end that the apologists for the Iranian regime on this board have either dummied up or disappeared. How many sins will they have to swallow until the truth sinks in? Is this Neda now the final unpalatable morsal?

Rhetorical question of course. The continued silence is confirmation enough.

-Dutch Embassy
-Finnish Embassy
-French Embassy
-German Embassy

There are more than a few noticeable absences, though, aren't there?

Such as? If you mean the US, they don't have one. They're represented by the Swiss Embassy.
