    @Dust1969 - "Well, I don't wish it to be true..."

    Fair enough. That was a poor choice of words on my part.

    I agree with you that the results are (at best) suspicious. But as I said in my previous letter, given that the presidency in Iran is apparently so weak and the nation is under the control of religious rather than elected leaders, I'm not sure exactly why they would go to all the trouble of so transparently engineering such an obvious fraud.
