District of Columbia fire and emergency workers at the site of a rush-hour collision between two Metro transit trains in northeast Washington, D.C. on Monday.
My sympathies to the survivors, families and friends of the deceased.

When I heard of the tragedy, my first thought was "Where is Vice President Biden?" Then. I thought how avoidable this could have been.
Two trains on the same track going in opposite directions is virtually impossible on magnetic rail.

The resolve of the Iranian Vote is not over. The leaders are committed to fairness.
There is a reporting today in The New York Times that the Iranian leadership is finding a disparity in the accuracy of the voting. I find this interesting and somewhat trustworthy to realize they have not dismissed the protestors.
When they ask to have the protests stopped, they are seeking safety for their citizens from the vigilantes that murdered people. They are carrying through with their promise to the Iranian people. I don't believe the protests are 'causing' them to carry through with their promise.
I sincerely believe they are concerned about the people of their nation and the choices in their government. I do not believe the Iranian leadership is being sinister. A Holy Man is a Holy Man and there are higher powers they answer to in all instances. I believe patience is still paramount to the outcome.
...The warning, on the Guards’ Web site, was issued despite an admission by Iran’s most senior panel of election monitors that the number of votes cast in 50 cities exceeded the actual number of voters, according to a state television report two days after the country’s supreme leader pronounced the ballot to be fair....
Iran's former president, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, in Tehran in April.
Former President Rafsanjani is an interesting character. He openly states he is also concerned. That cannot be dismissed either. I believe there are people involved in this 'post-election' review that will see this effort through. I am concerned for everyone's safety. They are all very brave people to confront such a volitile issue, but, the more transparency there is, the safer it is for all the people of Iran, including their leadership on both sides of the voting validation problem. I am somewhat heartened by the progess taking place in Iran.

President Obama has my praises on his comments on Iran.
The inflammatory Republicans are 'at it' again. They want to rant and rave while they know nothing about what they are speaking.
There cannot be any endorsement of one party over another in Iran if the USA is to be considered serious in their negotiations or otherwise regarding nuclear proliferation. Those making statements supporting meetings with Mr. Mousavi are irrelevant to the reality of the circumstances. It would be an inflammatory directive and one that undermines any 'intent' of the USA. We are interested in peace without nuclear threat, the truth regarding the Jewish Holocaust and Non-proliferation, NOT, over throwing and destabilizing governments.
Mousavi is basically an unknown commodity when dealing with Nuclear Proliferation. While a Moderate politically, there is no telling what would occur with the nuclear proliferation within Iran even if he were elected.
I praise the Iranian people for believing so deeply in their commitment to free speech and progressive views. I look forward to a peaceful world and one that lives with 'the truth,' regardless of the status of Mr. Ahmadenajad.
