Ahmadinejad is fair-minded: After you deploy star demerit for students who had expressed their dissent against the University of Tehran, has decided to extend the privilege also to teachers. A star, and you are warned, if precarious, you will have no place. Two stars they cut the funds for research. Three stars and you're fired. At the third star but students are expelled from the university. The worst problem for students as for teachers is that they do not know what happened next.
It 's the "cultural revolution" of the Iranian prime minister, wrote today in La Stampa Farian Sabahi, a well-known Iranian journalist and historian. But - it must be remembered with Luciano Violante and the DS, so that in their "bulimia of withdrawal" do not miss anything - the situation was no different when the president of the Chamber signed a condescending preface to the book of "reformer" Khatami. Sabahi explained the same three years ago to the Manifesto that " these years, Khatami has disappointed a bit 'all in July 1999 did not defend the students, did not say a word to free jailed journalists and intellectuals, who were guilty only of having expressed their opinion. " Mohsen Kadivar among others, guilty of having said "the government of the clergy is not compatible with democracy because if the people vote in favor of a measure, then it is said that this measure is put into practice because it will always be to decide Rahbar, the supreme leader, namely Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. " Observed Farian Sabah Kadivar, a friend and politically close to Khatami, had been "encouraged to express themselves in these terms to the promises of reform presidente Khatami” e aveva scontato, per essersi espresso in questo modo, nove mesi di carcere.
Ecco il punto. L’Occidente, o almeno una sua parte consistente, fece allora l’errore ottimistico di distinguere fra Kathami e la teocrazia, come se un regime politico che fonda la sua legittimazione sull’interpretazione di un testo sacro fosse compatibile con qualcosa di simile alla democrazia liberale. Oggi non vorremmo che venisse fatto l’errore opposto: che si identificasse in Ahamadinejad il problema dell’Iran e della sua evoluzione militarista e nuclearista. Ahmadinejad si comporta come Hitler, è pericoloso come Hitler, ma non ha gli stessi poteri di Hitler. Liquidarlo, se mai ci si provasse (ma ci si prova?), will not suffice. The problem is, and remains the theocracy, the government of the ayatollahs, the shari'a, the political manipulation of Islam, the virus that contaminates quaedista, extends and strengthens.
Ahmadijad Distinguish between theocracy and Western optimism is a new version, as opposed to the previous one, but just as comforting and cowardly.
