Mamoud-the-Mad is gone, but his Iranian replacement will be better only if you believe in the Tooth Fairy, or Wormtongue’s pretend optimism about somehow, someday, finally making friends with Iran.
The new guy may not be a blathering buffoon but he’s otherwise pretty much same as the old guy. And how could he not be given how Iran’s “democracy,” actually a theocratic dictatorship, really works?
“…Khamenei, Iran’s actual tyrannical ruler, wasn’t elected. He was hand-picked by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. And Khamenei and his claque of appointed jurists hand-picked all the presidential candidates who just stood for election. Those they didn’t approve of (and they were legion) did not get to run…
“[New President] Rowhani has a track record of thuggishness abroad as well as at home. John-Paul Pagano dug up some old reports from Iranian state media detailing Rowhani’s support for the region’s terrorist organizations…”
Funny how this stuff gets overlooked by the usual claque of international pundits, not to mention our ever-dissembling president and his crack team of news media stenographers.
