Stolen election?
See, and some folks think that America and Iran don't have anything in common and there ya go, right there.

Anyone but Ahaminajihad woulda been a better pick from the US perspective, of course.
This leads one to hope that maybe these current results will not stand.
At the end of the day Ahaminjihad is a peanut.
A populist puppet with nominal real power but an important puppet from the perspective of the less public but more powerful Ayatollah, especially in terms of the religious state controlling public opinion over there.
A hard thing to do since the real Iranian leadership must two-step between appearing overly obliging to the west in order to appear strong to their own people at home while simultaneously trying to assert their own sovereignty on the global stage diplomatically without unduly provoking the folk who could turn their country into a smoking crater of radioactive glass if oushed too far.
Mixing politics and diplomacy successfully is a tricky business.
No doubt the US is still insisting on preventing any linkage between any nuclear agreements made with Iran and Israel's off the table nuclear arsenal from being made.
No doubt the Iranians are still trying to achieve that end.
The subject of Israel's nukes is one that America's leaders can't talk about publicly.
They are also are a matter of much discussion around much of the rest of the world, of course.
Ahaminajihad or no, the ongoing dialogue over the MEern nuclear race is worth paying attention to.
It will interesting to watch this one play out.
Be Well.
