A whole story about the Iranian election, and no mention of (1) turnout (which was very low) and (2) rigging (which was patent).
About now Jimmah Carter should dodder on to the world stage to say that the beards were elected by a nore honest system than in the US, and it's all Bush's fault.

Yes, well all this is Jimmy Carter's fault. If Ronald Reagan had been President during the Iranian Revolution, it would have been nipped in the bud. Stupid, brain-dead, inept Jimmy just let it happen and let America be shamed.

The story says that turnout was about 60%, which seems reasonably high to me?
The populist mayor, who cast himself as the Robin Hood of Iran’s devout and impoverished masses, secured 61.7% of the vote to Rafsanjani’s 35.9% in Friday’s second round run-off. Turnout was about 60%.
I think it's clear that we have waited far too long to take military action. While I think North Korea will likely make a nuclear test before Iran, I think both are quite close to making one, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Iranians did so first --- or, worse, the two remaining members of the Axis of Evil coordinate their tests to be in a close timeframe in order to sow as much confusion as possible.
