I don't think many Americans would have welcomed outside countries attempting to rectify the results of the 2000 election - even if they thought Dubya did steal it.

And I suspect that's how people in Iran will generally see it.

I'd not be surprised if there has been massive election fraud in this latest election. But on the other hand I'd not be the least surprised either if the result does actually reflect how people did actually vote.

My impression is that an awful lot of people do tend to vote to re-elect populist leaders who are demonised abroad. And when people feel their countries are under siege, they do tend to vote for extreme nationalists (cf Israel).
