In a surprise move, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's former president, has registered as a candidate for next month's presidential election.Ahmadinejad had previously said he would not stand after being advised not to by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying he would instead support his former deputy, Hamid Baghaei, who also registered on Wednesday.
He said he remained committed to his "moral promise" to Khamenei of not running for the May 19 election.
Khamenei's "advice was not a ban", he said at the interior ministry where registration was taking place.
"I repeat that I am committed to my moral promise [of not running] and my presence and registration is only to support Mr Baghaei."

Imanutjob as we like to call him.

Yeah, imagine that buffoon winning an election? Conservatism run amok.
 
So you approve?

Of conservatism run amok? No. I, like all right-thinking westerners, hope Iran becomes more liberal. For the sake of the Iranians.
