| Ahmadinejad Is 'A Miracle' Says Justice Minister |
| 2007-06-08 |
| (AKI) - Justice minister Gholam Hossein Elham, who also acts as spokesman for the Iranian government, said Thursday that president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is "a miracle" who has saved the country from disaster. "Two years ago a miracle happened because only Ahmadinejad's election allowed the Islamic Republic to return to the road traced by the [1979 Islamic] revolution," he said, slamming government critics as "people who don't follow the revolution and its teachings." The justice minister's glowing remarks come as Ahmadinejad, who became president after a landslide victory in June 2005, is facing increasing criticism at home for the country's poor economy, the government's pursuit of nuclear ambitions which has led the UN to impose two rounds of sanctions against Iran and for an Islamic moralization campaign cracking down on civil liberties. |

| #6 Every arab knows that being belligerent is WAY more important than anything else. Keep up the big talk boys, but you may want to dump those iranian municipal bonds. |

| #4 Yet another thinly veiled allusion to the 12th imam or whoever his footstool is supposed to be. And yet the leftards accuse any Western leader with spine of "messianism". So angry now. |

| #2 I used to get 'zits' when I was a kid. Couldn't figure out at that age why I got them, and they just suddenly appeared, so I thought they must have been 'miracles' of some sort. Now I know, it was just the 'crapulance' of my youth. |

| #1 The only "miracle" about Ahmadinejad is that we haven't capped his miserable Islamic ass yet. All the praise in the world only serves to gold-plate this Shiite turd (redundant, I know). |
