Simon: Hitler advocated a new reich. To achieve it he had to
do two things. Reduce and eradicate the democratic process
in Germany, whilst also persuading the German populous that
they were under attack.
Ring any bells?

Yes, Simon, it sounds like Iran under the new hardliners. It
also sounds like every Islamist politician of the last
twenty years.
Oh you were thinking of Bush with his --democratically
measured -- low standing in the opinion polls?
Cite some public opinion polls of Iranians with regard to
their government. Go ahead. News reports come entirely from
state-controlled sources. Any polls likewise.

It is completely self-delusional to think that Ahmadinejad
speaks for anyone other than Ayatolla Khamenei and the
Guardian Council.
First, Ahmadinajad was not elected - he was appointed.
Ahmadinajad only received 19% of the first vote - second
place - with Rafsanjani receiving a full 2 points more in an
election where the top 5 candidates went like this in the polls:
Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani 21%
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 19%
Mehdi Karroubi 17%
Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf 13%
Mostafa Moeen 13%
Now, when the runoffs happened between Rafsanjani and
Ahmadinajad, it's a 40/60 split? That's right out of the
beetles tune, "I get by with a little help from my friends."
