Ahmadi Nejad Blocks Facebook

President Ahmadi Nejad of Iran is always consistent to give us something to poke him in the eye. His government has blocked the Iranians' access to facebook since yesterday.

Apparently Mr. Ahmadi Nejad has been worry about the way his opponents were capitalising on the facebook for the purpose of the presidential-election campaign against him. Since yesterday the blockage has outraged the Iranian Young and created a backlash inside the country. They reacted angrily by posting comments all over the Internet.

One only wonders that who are the brains behind such a political blunder. The simple question is that if Mr. Ahmadi Nejad and his colleagues think they can ignore the Iranian Young, their right to use the Internet freely, deny them the right to express and sharing thoughts with their fellow citizens and the outside world; and getaway with that? It seems that Mr. Ahmadi Nejad has shot his own foot.

Iranian Young will respond at the polling booths!

  2. hi,

    I would not be surprised at all. They must have not attempted it in first place. I could not see any wit behind it! Surely they need more intelligent advisers.
