Another thought concerning the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his provocative behaviour. If Iran appeared more open to America and businesss started to really invest in Iran and fuel its economy, the social issues in the country would be radically different. If he were more friendly to the America, there wouldn't be the threatening rhetoric from Bush, which is part of the fear card that keeps the Ayatollahs in power and makes it easy to suppress dissent.
I said in my last post that fear of America is the fuel the Iranian government uses to keep the masses faithful. I am beginning to believe that Ahmadinejad is purposely provoking America for that very reason. To safely stay in power.

Fear is the tool for all dictators and deciders. Meanwhile, you have to think that most citizens would prefer to tend their gardens and watch their children grow up.
Bush and Ahmadinejad exist in a symbiotic relationship. The more fiery rhetoric from Bush, the more support Ahmadinejad receives from his base.
Well put Comandante!
