Ahmadinejad, Close Up

Kamangir | March 27, 2006 | Category Iran

The paper reads “A man like the nation” (not exact translation). Do you have any question why Ahmadniejad does not shave his beard?

Women waiting to hear Ahmadinejad’s speech. In poor regions of Iran women are always the ones who are suffering more.

Ahamdinejad giving respect to a martyr’s gravestone. Many of those families who have lost a son or a father in the war are living in poor conditions. For them, government’s financial help is necessary. Many others see these favors contradicting their rights, like giving priority to martyr’s children to get admitted to good universities for which they certainly are not ready.

The paper reads “the anniversary of martyrs Mohammad Ali Aiozi and Haji Aiozi” who seem to be father and son. For this woman free press and political transparency may be nothing more than nonsense. She has lost two close family members and now needs to see the reason they were killed. She really needs to be proud of them. Also, she really needs financial help.

Isn’t it obvious why so many people love Ahmadinejad this much? Do you think invading Iran would make this man weak? What about banning him to travel to Europe? The question is, what is the solution then?

.You are telling us that you really are falling for these pictures? Iran fears force and US has been too easy on them for so long. Clinton administration was a disgrace with their apologies and soft talk. Same with EU’s shameful business connection with Iran. They stand for democracy but not for Iranian people. So, they rather make their money out of Mullahs than being tough on Human rights issue. Unless the world gets united against Iran and show some “real” force, Iranian Mullahs will continue sucking the blood out of Iranian civilization. But my questions is what can Iranian diasopra responsibity? Until we, Iranian diaspora, get united the world will not do the job for us.

I do not understand your question. If you ask whether I think these pictures are real, then yes, I think these are very real people. On the other side, do I think Ahmadinejad will eventually benefit these people’s interests? Obviously not, as neither did Khomeini himself. However, I admit that the poor Iranians have this delusion that the Islamists are “good” because of being in accordance with God’s “rules”.
Here, I am just trying to show that the problem in Iran is not solved when Ahmadinejad, and even his tribe, are removed from power. The problem, to my understanding and experience, is much more deep. Iranians, that I know, are seriously poor. Not only many of them can not afford to eat well, but also they can not empower people who will benefit them. Then, what do I conclude? I conclude that there is no such â€œfastâ€ way to â€œhaveâ€ Iran as something you would be proud it. I think this is something you are also agreed with.
