If you want to “go green” as well, log into your twitter account and go to http://helpiranelection.com/. A good source for current updates on the situation in Iran and some background information is Huffington Post and their Live-Blog.

Call me pessimistic but as long as Iran stays a theocracy absolutely nothing will change, regardless of who is president. The president is just a puppet of the Council of Guardians; it is the Supreme Leader (currently Khamenei) who gives the orders. As long as that system doesn't change, I'm afraid nothing will change.

Completely agree with you.

Completely agree with you. Even if Moussawi became president, the Council of Guardians and the Supreme Leader respectively could veto everything. Still, I think that they're surprised by the reaction of the people, so maybe that has an impact, if only a minor one.
