More troubles to meet us here in the 21st Century with the near coronation of the new president of Iran,
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who appears, with 66% of the vote in to have won it. With promises to put Iran's nuclear program into the hands of Anti-Western Clerics, I do believe we have a problem, and I think we have yet another ticking time bomb easily ready to go off in the Middle East. I feel like this is just one more problem our country is going to have to deal with.
Currently, Iran has been fairly neutral towards the United States, the Clerical governing council has always been unfavorable towards the United States, but the government has been run by moderates who've seen value in negotiating and talking to Europe and some American satellites. But now, with the moderates swept from government, hardline fundamentalists can easily push a policy of Anti-Americanism. With unemployment around 30% in Iran, angry men and women with nowhere to turn can be easily militarized and sent to harass the situation in Iraq (officially or unofficially).
With Bush the Dumbass in charge who KNOWS what all this can mean, but in the end, I can honestly say I think it means ONE thing.
Life ain't getting any easier for us.
