Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has responded to Barack Obama’s opening to Iran, and his answer is characteristically acerbic. Yes, we can talk, he is saying, if you come on your hands and knees.
Change means apologizing to the Iranian nation and working to redress their black dossier and the past crimes perpetrated against the Iranian nation” [source]
What Ahmadinejad doesn’t realize is that the arrival of a moderate voice (with a muslim background) will pose a greather threat than Bush. What can the government get the Persian civilian population to rally against next? Good luck Mullah’s.

For someone like Ahmadinejad who sounds off on almost everything, especially if it has to do with Israel, is very quiet these days.
Are the mullahs cowards? Are they worried the same will happen to them as with Hamas? Or is their reluctance to escalate matters related to Mr. Obama?
The geopolitical intelligence site, Stratfor has pointed out that,
Iran is working on consolidating its gains in Iraq, and the leadership in Tehran appears to be under the impression that the incoming U.S. administration will be more open to negotiations on key issues such as the future status of U.S. forces in Iraq, the makeup of the Iraqi security and intelligence establishment, recognition of Iran’s sphere of influence in the region, Iran’s nuclear program and prospects for foreign investment in its depressed economy.

Of course there is no free speech with Islam:
“Kargozaran has been banned over a media offence and the case has been referred to the court,” Mohammad Parvizi, who is in charge of domestic media at the culture ministry, told IRNA.
He said the ban was ordered over “a piece yesterday which justifies the Zionist regime’s crimes against humanity in Gaza and portrays the Palestinian resistance as terrorists who cause the deaths of children and civilians by taking up position in kindergartens and hospitals.” [source]
Kargozaran was started by Iranian students. The Iranian Students movement is the last refuge of relatively free thinking left under the dictatorship of the mullahs in the facists Islamic Republic.
