If the Administration took a side it would be the absolute worst thing to the protests and it's supporters. Ahmadinejad would use that as an excuse to move in troops and so forth which could end in bloodshed.

Right now, there is a lack of evidence upon which to make a reasonable inference that the election was rigged. Does that mean the election was fair? No. But it means that with the current evidence and using logic (real logic, as in "if p, then q"; not an internet user's idea of being "logical") you can't make a sound judgment on the legitimacy of the election.
Crap like "but this happened before" or "they lost their hometown" (which happens in the US all the time, btw) or even pointing towards the horribly mishandled reaction by the government all amount to weak circumstantial evidence to build a theory on. In a court of law, you need forensic evidence to make use of circumstantial evidence, and right now there is none. None of you would ever submit a university paper with this weak of logical underpinnings, so what allows you to claim these elections are "obviously rigged?"
The speed of the vote count raises concern, but that's merely questionable. It is not proof.
Now that is a very good summary of the current situation regarding the validity of the election results.
Not related to the topic but I just hate Iranians. They loiter around our country nowadays, trying to study. First of all their English is very poor and they intend to learn Dentistry in our university. Also they are very rude and they don't have manners, they don't respect other people even their own country men. One incident is where they scratched about 3 professors cars and the Deans car. They also stabbed one Filipino. Just from my experience with Iranians here in my country. They are dirty people they don't even wash their clothes and they stink.
