Ahmadinejad Has Done Seven Things to Alarm the World
(Times-UK) Bronwen Maddox - In the three months since Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took office, he has done seven things which have rightly alarmed the rest of the world. He restarted the processing of uranium. He delivered a provocative defense of Iran's right to develop nuclear power at the UN. He replaced Iran's nuclear negotiating team. He called for Israel to be wiped off the map. He axed half of Iran's ambassadors, many known to be moderates or reformers. He appointed Sadeq Mahsouli as Oil Minister, despite his lack of oil experience. Last week Iran announced it would send a second batch of uranium ore to Isfahan for processing. Ahmadinejad clearly wants the world to know he doesn't care what it thinks.
