Maybe Just Maybe a Tide is Turning in Iran
There are new political forces that are rising in Iran and this may foretell a future change in administration. The Associated Press has pointed out that in local council elections the opponents of President Ahmadinejad have won elections. Although these are local elections, they are across the face of Iran and this may foretell of future national changes as the tide of popularity appears to be waning for the current hard-line President who is pushing Iran into a conflict with the West.
Although this may show an undercurrent of change in the feelings of the Iranian people, remember on the national level, the government is not really run by Ahmadinejad but by the cleric guardian group and specifically Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

"We consider this government's policy to be against Iran's national interests and security. It is simply acting against Iran's interests,"We'll see what happens. President Ahmadinejad has only been in office 18 months and the rest of his term may end up seeming like an eternity but the winds of change may be starting to blow. I for one hope so.
