> Iran: A snub for the West
> Ahmajinedad wasn't the candidate of the establishment, but of the lower classes
>
> From an anti-imperialist point of view, the overwhelming victory of Ahmadinejad in the elections is positive, because the incumbent and president-elect stands for confrontation with the U.S.-led new order for the "Near East".
>
> Even the Western media had to admit that it is the poor who strongly support the president. His allegations of corruption promptly gained him the epithet "populist" in the West—an indirect admission that he enjoys broad support from below.
>
> The capitalist establishment around Rafsanjani (number two of the regime and chairperson of the Assembly of Experts) and a broad coalition of Islamic forces from the "left" to the "right" actually didn't support Ahmadinejad, but his contender Mousavi. Ayatollah Khamenei (number one and successor to Khomeini), after the elections sided with the victor; however that doesn't mean that Ahmadinejad was his favourite candidate, because Ahmadinejad's fiery attacks against the ruling elite gave everyone in the establishment the creeps. Khamenei's decision was made to reinforce the stability of the system.
