#1 "Mayor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- a hard-line conservative who has said Iran should embrace the principles of the 1979 Islamic Revolution -- was declared the winner of Iran's presidential election"

I suppose this is the best that could happen from a US perspective. It'll shut up a few of the whiners who keep saying we should negotiate with these loonies. At least for a little while.
