"What side of Iranian history are we on?" was the question asked by United States President John McCain in a speech on June 12, 2010, in commemoration the first anniversary of the establishment of the pro-democracy movement known as the "Green Movement", which was established in the aftermath of the Iranian presidential election of 2009, in which President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was re-elected in an election dominated by voting fraud and post-election crackdown on dissidents.
