Doubt, when reasonable, implies that a result other than the one prescribed is probable and not ruled out by evidence to the contrary or solid fact.

Fact, Mr. Mousavi was expected to win, poles showed more and more Iranians were tired of Ahmadineajad finding him clownish and an economic train wreck. Only 34.2 percent of the population have a firm good feeling about Mr. Ahmadineajad according to the most reliable pre election polls, and the only pole to favor Ahmadineajad in the race was a government sponsored bit of data packing which placed Ahmadinajad ahead and by 16 points at that.

Here is the honest source. Even if the most unlikely scenario did occur Ahmadineajad’s “victory” would not have been anywhere close to the landslide announced two hours after the poles closed. That “victory” depended on over voting in the millions and discrepancies in at least 50 cities. The regime admitted to it. Khamenei said it wasn’t so only after his own people said it was. There is NO way to trust the “official” election results except to trust that they are fraudulent. So tell me again, what is the “honest” source to which you refer?

Yes, peaceful demonstrations were exactly what the opposition was about doing until the Bassiji riot began. Then the opposition became about self defense and defending Iran from bassiji thugs and criminals. You defend that flotsam of mob rule they call the Bassiji?

Having already determined what it is you do, I can only wonder what price you charge for your ahem, “services”?
