New Poll Suggests 10 Out of Every 7 Iranians Struggle to Understand Statistics

Actually, 75% of Iranians hate America but 3 out of every 4 disagree. Iranian figurehead/president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may not be as popular in Iran as the Media lets us believe. According to the New York Times, a man - whose name is long and difficult to spell, so I will cut and paste it: Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani - won a position in the 86 member "Assembly of Experts" which is similar to their congress. He won by a landslide over a close ally to Mr. Ahmadinejad.

Rafsanjani, along with 65 other more moderate candidates were elected in these past elections, and some people (at least the New York Times articles) believe this may be an indication that the Iranian President may be losing his grip only a year after being voted into office. The assembly has the power to remove the president. I wish ours had that.

Ahmadinejad recently had his own "assembly of experts" gather in Iran for a conference of "scholars" who can "prove" that the holocaust did not happen. Among these experts, former KKK grand wizard David Duke was one of these "scholars" proving that it is not just our president who makes poor decisions regarding character and credibility.

Either way, Ahmadinejad's extreme views may not represent the general feeling of the Iranians, and with any luck, our own figurehead/president won't have to start
