More on how the 2005 “election” of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was not Bush’s fault
On Saturday, I wrote a post which talked about the myths the left are perpetuating about the 2005 election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the Iranian presidency, which are that 1) reform-minded Iranians were “ok” with having Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as president as long as he helped protect them from the “warmongering” Bush and 2) Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected over Iranian fears of the United States after Bush’s “Axis of Evil” speech and other “harsh” rhetoric towards Iran. In essence, Bush has been blamed for Ahmadinejad’s “rise to power,” an assertion that is unsupported by the facts. This post continues where the last one left off.
