Ahmadinejad the Chosen One
Ahmadinejad's days are numbered. This astounding article, via Winds of Change.net, has to be making the Ayatollahs nervous that they have chosen an insane idiot as their new President. I am not sure why the Ayatollahs bother to have a president anyways.

Answer: Because they're clever. It's actually a very clever way to run a dictatorship. Have real elections, but severely limit who can run, severely limit the jurisdiction of elected officials, and give final veto power over everything to the dictators. That way, you get all the power of being a dictator, but it still looks to the outside world like you are a democracy. I mean, you have elections with actual races and everything, right?
Yes, that is true. Mao had a president too.
Nevertheless, this guy has to be yanking their chain - he is politically inept.
