Obama must now vote for a like-minded new president for Iran
The 2nd of Khordad (third month in Persian calendar) in 1997 saw a landslide victory for the mild mannered cleric Mohammad Khatami in Iran’s presidential election and ushered in a new era in the life of the Islamic Republic, marked with a united, and peaceful call by the Iranian people for deep social and political reforms. The failure of Khatami and his administrations to deliver these overdue demands after two terms in office, caused chiefly by the lack of power and desire on the part of a dithering president on the one hand, and the despotic nature of the unelected rulers of the country on the other, led to the emergence of the populist Ahmadinejad in 2005, who has since made matters worse by waging an outdated and reactionary outward campaign against the U.S. and Israel and stifling the democratic forces at home.

Still this news item caught my attention on how the Iranian government refused to respond to what US had filled with the Swiss embassy in Iran, because the recent naval incident was reffered to as Gulf and not Persian Gulf, full story at the end of the post.
