Indonesia can and should put pressure on the iranian government. They have to move towards democracy or they end up in a civil war with peoples uprising agains the non democratically elected roolers. Iran is as fare as a country can be fra democracy with a country where the elections are just about electing a president with no individual power. The how belives the turnout to the election could possibly be 85%??? Whether or not it was the right winner or not of the elections is less important the the true leaders accepting that lots of iraninans are tired of living in a dictatioship, where even meeing the wrong contester for the presidental elections will put u to jail or worse. I just hope Indonesia will help the people of Iran in their fight for the same rights that indonesians luckyly enjoy today :)
