President of Iran launches a weblog

Though the Internet is severely restricted in his country, that should not stop Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from participating in the international blogging movement. This looks legitimate — and concerning.

Update: President Bush, rightly, going after Iran today, reminding the world of the link between Hezbollah (messing things up in Lebanon and Israel) and Iran. “We can only imagine how much more dangerous this conflict would be if Iran had the nuclear weapon it seeks,” says Bush.
Also, this note of alarm from Bill O’Reilly. I’m not sure about his take on the details (e.g., a military draft), but in the main, this piece is timely and reasonable.
