Presidential elections were held in Iran yesterday. I was hoping that this would be the end of incumbent nutcase Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Sadly, however, the media are reporting that Ahmadinejad will be sticking around to threaten Israel and annoy the world for another term.
My first reaction was one of surprise and disbelief. How could the people of Iran reelect this hardline extremist?!
But then I remembered our own U.S. presidential election in 2004, when a majority of Americans voted to reelect George W. Bush. The similarities continue with allegations of vote fraud today in Iran as we saw here after 2004.
Fortunately, America woke up in time for the 2008 elections.
Hopefully Iran will soon awaken as well.
