I found this story about Mahmud Ahmadinejad, who is running for president of Iran, interesting. He's either a religious loon in the mold of James Dobson, or he's a political leader whose faith can't be separated from his actions more in line with say, Martin Luther King, if Martin Luther King had a fondness for nuclear weapons. I don't know and I don't trust him. But I found this part of the story amusing:
But if Mr. Ahmadinejad had one point that he wanted to get across it was that people should not fear that he will try to impose Taliban-style rule over Iran. "They have said if I become president I will shut down the Internet," Mr. Ahmadinejad said Wednesday night. "Why do they say that?"
He added: "My children and my wife are constantly on the Internet. They don't give me a chance to use the phone line. My wife loves doing her research on the Internet."
I'm a sucker for wife and kids stories.
