Iranian bloggers discussed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's trip to Latin America and his growing problems at home.
Nikahang, a leading cartoonist and blogger, takes on Ahmadjnejad nuclear's policy
Rozmaregi [Fa] was surprised that the Iranian Islamist president went to Latin America meeting and becoming friendly with communist leaders. The bloggers says Khomeini and Che Guevara could not have even dreamed about this.
The blogger adds:
Blue Future [Fa] says Ahmadnejad's ideology is not comparable to left wing leaders such as Ortega or Chávez in Latin America. The blogger believes Ahmadnejad's policies increase poverty rather than reduce it. The blogger adds
Molla Hasani says with irony that Iran is going to make important business deals such as exporting candy to Cuba [Fa].
Jomhour writes about the end of Ahmadinejadism in Iran. The blogger says even religious leaders criticised the government for inflation and mismanagement. He adds that the conservative Islamic Republic journal called on Ahmadnejad to be quiet on nuclear issues [Fa].

i agree that for a religious society, communism would appear an odd bedfellow, but in latin america i think that they co-exist, don’t they? and here in poland, even under soviet administration, catholicism thrived (granted underground, and tolerated by ussr)…
