New Iranian Prez Took U.S. Hostages in 1979

The newly-elected President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has a filthy history as a thug terrorist for Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and was known as "Tir Khalas Zan" (literally, the Terminator) for his habit of firing coup de grace shots at the heads of prisoners after their executions. Ahmadinejad was also head of security in the takeover of the U.S. Embassy and the taking of American hostages in 1979. It would be hard to dispute the contention that Iran is a terrorist nation when the "population" just elected a known terrorist as president. By any reasonable measure of justice, Ahmadinejad should be in prison, not the presidential palace.
