Iran gets New President

Iran has chosen a new president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the ultra-conservative mayor of Tehran. This is causing much concern for fear of undoing the progress achieved under the previous administration. I find this all very ironic. The Bush administration pushes a conservative agenda and for democracy in the middle east but when they get both in one package they call it "flawed". Why is this? Perhaps they're just upset that they can't take any credit. Still other's complain that Mr. Ahmadinejad will undo progress. This is not taking into account the election's demographics. Ahmadinejad is the candidate of Iran's religious poor that have always supported the statis quo. Those people that Ahmadinejad will be angering are the affluent and resourceful. We must not lose sight of the possibility that these resourceful individuals may choose to instigate a revolution. This election may prove to be beneficial after all.
