Trouble with stuffing ballot boxes full of false votes in a countrywide presidential election is that you are never sure of exactly how many ballots to stuff. When the order comes down chamchas have to make sure that they guarantee a win and will tend to err towards overkill. The margin of victory can thus become embarassing. That is what seems to have happened in Iran. Mr. Ahmadinejad is said to have around 65% of votes cast although the opposition candidate Mr. Moussawi was earlier claiming victory. The government has already gone into damage control by interfering with mobile messaging services and forcing opposition newspapers to print only ' official ' announcements and delete any opposition statements. The fascist Revolutionary Guard thugs are threatening to beat up anyone demonstrating against the results. And what of the Supreme Leader whose word is law and may not be challenged? I would have thought that the word 'Supreme' may only be used for God especially in an Islamic Republic but obviously I am wrong. Mr. Khamenei may profess to be just another religious leader but he obviously thinks he is God just as Hitler, Idi Amin and many other dictators have thought before. We are yet to hear what this God like Supreme Leader has to say about the fast one pulled by his protege but I am not holding my breath hoping for truth and justice. I think that the real God is hiding in fear from the true faithful while the infidels look on.
