I wonder - why did the Ayatollah's go for such a big lie? If they had cooked the elections just slightly in Ahmadinejad favor would all of this unfolded? I doubt it. I mean - wouldn't the rational response in a close election be, "Well, I guess it was close and Ahmadinejad probably won." By skewing the votes so massively, they made it all too obvious. I guess subtly isn't religious fundamentalists strong suit.
