The Iran Problem Might Resolve Itself

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadimanutjob continues his rants against the U.S., but he may be creating big problems for himself at home:

TEHRAN, Iran — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called President Bush "the most hated person" in the world on Thursday, keeping up his tirades against the West despite elections that showed Iranians want him to focus on the country's domestic problems.

In final results announced Thursday from local elections last week, moderate conservatives opposed to Ahmadinejad won a majority of seats. They were followed by reformists, making a comeback after being driven out of local councils, parliament and the presidency over the past five years.

In the capital Tehran, where Ahmadinejad was mayor before becoming president 16 months ago, his allies grabbed only three of the 15 council seats, while moderate conservatives won seven. Reformists won four, and an independent one. Though the Dec. 15 elections were local, they were the first time the public has weighed in on Ahmadinejad's stormy presidency.

This guy is still clearly dangerous, but opposition to his presidency is rapidly building in Iran. Wouldn't it be great if before the U.S. or Israel had to take action to stop him, his own people removed him from power? Certainly there must be a lot of sane, rational Iranians that realize this guy's Messianic visions are taking the country down a path that will lead to annihilation.
