Nobody has advanced a "pro-MoussavI," "pro-Kourroubi," or "pro-Rajai"
case. It is the pro-Iranian-masses case--they recognized the total
and undeniable (and now officially proclaimed) fraud. All that is
necessary to the pro-fraud case being advanced in this forum is
mechanical fetishistic genuflection before the fraudulent shibboleth
of "antimperialism."

The same way that we "explain" (as if there were anything to explain) the large number of votes that Bush surely got in the elections he stole.
