Hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is the new Iranian president. For freedom loving people, this is not good news. Of course, the presidential election in Iran was a farce.

There were complaints that the candidates allowed to run for president were decided by the powerful Guardian Council, made up of clerics, who disqualified upward of 1,000 contestants, including 50 women.
