There's a limit to what they can do to limit the reformists chances. Iran is no Iraq.

The best thing the West could do now is not comment much to what they're saying over there. The more the West tries to affect the elections and the more it responds to the nationalist sabre-rattling, the better for the nationalists. Ahmadinejad is pretty good at making himself look stupid, and shouting threats to people who don't seem that threatening and even less afraid tends to look pretty stupid.
