I am of the opinion that the Iranian election was rigged and that it wasn't going to change the real power structure regardless of who won. That is why I am actually happy that an ultra-conservative was "elected". This way it will be a lot more difficult for Europe and the Left to convince themselves that Iran is on the so-called path of reform and that it just needs a little more encouragement.

There's also another silver lining to this result. Supposedly, a large majority of Iranians is unhappy with the Mullahs. If this is true, then the election will just be further confirmation to the Iranian people that there is no hope of real change without another revolution. Maybe this will push them into more concrete acts of resistance against the government.
