Could Iranians Tell Ahmadinejad To Sit Down And Shut Up?

J.J. Jackson* | December 19, 2006 

Things could be about to get worse for President Ahmadinejad in the very near future

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Opponents of hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took an early lead in key races in Iran’s local elections, according to partial results announced Monday, with moderate conservatives winning control of councils across Iran.

If the final results hold - especially in the bellwether capital, Tehran - it will be an embarrassment to Ahmadinejad, whose anti-Israeli rhetoric and unyielding position on Iran’s nuclear program have provoked condemnation in the West and moves toward sanctions at the U.N. Security Council.

A freelance Iranian journalist of reformist sympathies, Iraj Jamshidi, described the vote as “a blow to Ahmadinejad,” who was elected in June 2005.

“After a year, Iranians have seen the consequences of the extremist policies employed by Ahmadinejad. Now, they have said a big ‘no’ to him,” said Jamshidi.

So, here in America the left says that we need to dialogue with this goofball in Iran and in Iran the people are getting tired of his extremism. Maybe the left is on the wrong side again?

Just remember however, as great as this sounds the Supreme Leader has ultimate control of who gets elected through his associates which he basically puts into power. So nothing that happens will be without his approval.
