I thought that Iran had turned the corner on fascism...how did this fanatic get elected?
He was chosen by the supreme leader in a sham election
What makes you think he was "elected"?
The election was rigged. I am sure someone here has a link to the articles. From what I recall, a so-called moderate (name long since forgotten by me) was in the lead by a decent margin and Ahmadinajad all of a sudden had enough votes to win.
