Iran Enters The Liberalism Era
Posted Monday, July 3, 2006
Tehran, 4 Jul. (IPS) In a move that surprised most Iranian and foreign
experts, the Iranian Leader Ayatollah Ali Khameneh'i ordered the
government of fundamentalist, anti-western Mahmoud Ahmadi Nezjad to
cede 80 percent of the shares of major state-owned enterprises to the
private sector, the cooperatives and the people.
Does this mean that Bush/Cheney/PapaBush's heavy-handed threats of
the annihilation of Iran are working?
