Is Ahmadinejad in poor health?
Just a few weeks ago, there was considerable speculation that Kim Jong-Il might be either dead or in failing health. Now, comes similar speculation about Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
From the London Telegraph: "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who achieved global fame by calling the Holocaust a 'myth' and declaring that Israel should be 'wiped from the pages of history', faces re-election in June. "In the last week, however, the 52-year-old leader has missed a cabinet meeting and failed to deliver two official speeches. "A string of broken appointments from earlier in the year has also come to light. Mr Ahmadinejad, who has a reputation for being a workaholic to the point of hyperactivity, may be suffering from the strains of office." Here is a link to the full article: http://www.telegraph.co.u...-poor-health-rumours.html

It may be, but let's not get our hopes up. And before even hoping that he is sick, let's look at who is running against him. Is that someone going to be better or worse?

Had Dear Leader bitten the dust in North Korea, it might have caused the implosion of the DPRK government, with the resultant anarchy and chaos; and I would view that as a very good thing, from America's standpoint. However, if Ahmadinejad were suddenly removed from power in Iran (by death or any other means), the result would almost certainly be very different. Last edited by pjohns : 10-26-2008 at 02:10 PM.

You guys do know that the position of "President" in Iran carries almost no actual power right? The Supreme Council decides all matters of diplomacy and military affairs. Thus, Ahmedinejad's health while noteworthy, is really not a que to start speculating on Iran's political future.

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. "Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

It would be a good thing for the world. Especially for Iran, where half of the population (namely, women) is being oppressed, together with numerous other minorities.
