Armored Dinner Jacket's now a lame duck:

[underlankers.livejournal.com]

In an election that serves to remind people that he was never but a puppet of the real ruler of Iran. Because, y'see, there was indeed a great, sweeping turnout of opponents of Armored Dinner Jacket that just cost Mr. "I am a troll, pay attention to me" the election. Except that these people were backers not of the Greens but of the fanatical successor of Ayatollah Khomeini: Ali Khameini. Khameini, of course, is the reigning theocrat controlling a system that depends on theocracy. This is basically equivalent to Israel ditching Benjamin Netanyahu for Yisrael Beteinu in a landslide.

And perhaps, just maybe, this will shut people up on the "Armored Dinner Jacket is the Iranian dictator" idiocy and get people focusing on the real dictator of Iran, Khameini. This, however, is probably too optimistic given the ADD and selective memory of the democracies but I digress.

The Iranian political landscape is much more rugged and complex than most people think. Even Khameini isn't exactly like Kim Jong Il. There are many pieces on that chess table, some heavier than others, and none of them could do anything alone.
