Searching for the president in Tehran revolution

"The other question concerns this little corner of the earth whose land, both above and below the surface, has strategic importance at a global level.

TEHRAN, Feb 17, 2008 (AFP) — An Iranian ayatollah died suddenly of a heart attack during an impassioned speech lashing out at insults against the family of revolutionary founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in the run-up to elections. He had been responding to unprecedented ultra-conservative attacks against Hassan Khomeini, Ayatollah Khomeini's respected grandson, who had criticised mass disqualifications in the March election and military interference. He also quoted a letter from Khomeini from the early days of the revolution denouncing "reactionaries who attack the family and friends of the Imam Khomeini under the pretext of defending him." The manner of Tavassoli's sudden death underlines the tensions ahead of the March 14 parliamentary election. Hundreds of reformist candidates have been disqualified in initial vetting while the head of the Revolutionary Guards made a surprise announcement that the elite force favours conservatives in the race. Hassan Khomeini, who rarely makes comments in public, had bitterly criticised both of these events prompting extraordinary attacks against him by ultra-conservatives

Expressing a human need, I've recently liked very much coffee and cigarrettes in the mornings. Semetimes I also take a look to my old emails or letters sent by friends and family while enjoying my first smoke of the day.
