TEHRAN — Locked in a continuing bitter contest Monday with Iranians who say the presidential elections were rigged, the authorities here acknowledged that the number of votes cast in 50 cities exceeded the actual number of voters, state television reported following assertions by the country’s supreme leader that the ballot was fair.
But the authorities insisted that discrepancies, which could affect three million votes, did not violate Iranian law and the country’s influential Guardian Council said it was not clear whether they would decisively change the election result.
Right! So you basically admit that the elections were rigged, but you claim that Ahmedinijad would have won anyway.
A child cheats in an exam and on getting caught says, "Ma'am I just cheated in one question out of the thirty given. I swear I have answered all the others by myself.Instead of punishing me why don't you just check the other twenty-nine and grade me accordingly? I am sure I will pass."
So what should the teacher do? Should she just let him go cause the one question he cheated on wouldn't have "affected" his performance and grade? Or should she say "Cheating is cheating" and debar him from the examination or order a retest for him?
And for holy sakes, this is not just some examination but the elections of a country we are talking about! The fate of millions of Persians depend on it. I hope we get to see justice delivered to all those thirsting for it before its too late. I hope their sacrifices do not go in vain.
The entire world hopes...and prays.
