Today I read Mahmoud Ahmadinejadwill be ending his role in politics in 2013. It turns out Iran has a law just like the United States. The law does no permit a President to serve more than two terms.
I was under the impression the leadership of Iran was similar to something like Saddam. I didn’t think people had a choice. People had thought the last election was fixed. I thought they were all fixed. I remember the violent conflict which happened over the last election. My first sight of the violence was watching a young woman dying in the street with a love one holding her hand. Apparently, she had been shot by state police for protesting.
Hopefully, Mahmoud Ahmadinejadleaving will cause a more stable situation in the Middle East. Do we really need some madman controlling over half a million troops and his finger on a nuclear button in the near future. Anyone who publicly calls for an annihilation of a country is a madman in my book.
Is it possible someone will be elected who actually can build relationships with the west? Probably not; the Middle East is destined to be a hot spot till the end times.
