The news has been in a buzz over the latest election in Iran. Not only did President Ahamadinnejad win another term, he won by a landslide according to reliable sources from Iran's "election board." Did you fall out of your chair when you heard this news? Was it the surprise shock of your life, the political upset of the century?
Look, I've never claimed to be any prophet. Nevertheless, I knew long ago that Ahamadinnejad would win. Call me emotional, but there's just something about this guy. I mean, anyone who would deny the holocaust earns a certain reputation for truth telling, does he not? And his openly stated intentions to destroy Israel certainly say something about the man's love for power.
And so.... Of course he won the election! In fact, he won that election long before they had it.
On the other hand....Inasmuch as Iran is a theocracy and not a democracy; inasmuch as any president merely answers to the Ayatollah, what difference does any of this really make anyway?
This is Bob Siegel, making the obvious, obvious.
