Everything in Iran is fixed now

Don't worry. Those mourning rallies, new protest rallies, investigations into deaths resulting from a military attack on Tehran University are all unnecessary. Why? Because the people who helped rig the election are totally going to look into complaints about vote rigging.

Iran's rulers today offered a fresh concession to opposition protesters angry at the official results of presidential elections by inviting candidates to present their allegations of vote-rigging at a formal session.

The powerful guardian council has convened an extraordinary session for Saturday and invited the three candidates who were, according to official results, defeated by the incumbent, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The council announced on Tuesday that it would re-examine disputed ballot boxes. Its move came as tens of thousands of protesters began to amass on the streets of Tehran for a sixth day of demonstrations.

Whew! Crisis over. Mousavi will just forward a link from Nate Silver, point out some of the more glaring electoral impossibilities, the fact that several laws of the space-time continuum seemed to be broken during the first "counting" of the vote, and then I'm sure the Guardian Council will see the error of their ways, respond sanely, and will either have a re-election or actually go and count the votes they didn't count last time. Then all the protesters will simply go home, say thanks for restoring their "democracy", and completely trust the results. Those who rigged the election will totally see the error of their ways, vow never to do it again, and commit themselves to a full and fair legal accounting of their crimes. This completely sounds like a situation where evidence is important, reason reigns, and cooler heads prevail.

Or, you know, everyone gets arrested, sham trials, heavier police crackdowns, and Ahmadinejad continues to walk around and act like he can't believe everyone thinks there's anything unusual going on in his country. One of those two. Either way, I'm sure this is the end of it. The fox agreed to look into the henhouse incident. Crisis over.
