Ayatollahs Circle the Drain; Ahmadinejad Back.

The return to office of the Iranian incumbent Ahmadinejad is good news. The hardliners musical chairs that has been described in the media here as an election has kept out the so called reformist Mousavi. Mousavi is not a reformer; he is a prominent supporter of the regime who whilst in office was responsible for a colossal massacre of dissidents in the eighties.
A Mousavi presidency would have breathed fresh life into the rotten corpse of the Iranian theocracy as the West has chosen to dress him up as someone reasonable with whom business could be done. Someone to cosy up to, someone to appease. Mousavi is gone and now the decay and demise of the ayatollahs reign can happily proceed unhindered by the West's outright and shameful support. Even Obama might be forced to stop simpering at Teheran's knees.
