How easily the West allows itself to be repeatedly duped by the
religious fascist rulers of Iran. Past-masters at the art of deception,
they have defied world opinion for the past decade in their race to
build nuclear weapons but after eight tortuous years of confrontation
with the unstable Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
at the helm, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei finally realized that the only
way to buy more time was to convince the West that a moderate had
emerged as the new president of Iran.
The emergence of the cleric Hassan Rouhani, following the recent presidential elections in Iran, seemingly ticked all of the boxes. The Western media crowed that this new "moderate" president would be open to dialogue on stopping the nuclear program and would be a harbinger of positive change for the oppressed masses in Iran, improving basic human rights, freedom of speech, freeing all political prisoners and halting public executions.
