This article, by Iranian blogger Akbar Chanani, appears in Voices without Votes, and brings us blogger voices from Iran, who compare the elections in the US with elections in their countries. The blog posts were originally written in Farsi, and translated by Chanani into English, giving us a unique opportunity to read and learn what Iranian bloggers are thinking of.

This is excellent journalism as it brings us first hand reactions from bloggers on the ground. The links are exceptions and each one of them opens up a new world and takes us to individual stories which speak of fear, pain, disappointment and hope. The blog articles are also written originally in French, and have been translated by Jennifer Brea into English - to help bring those stories to an international audience.
