Indeed. That's a pretty damning article for your POV, Yoshie. Not only has your Prince brought deepened repression, his half-assed economic policies have stoked inflation and further worsened the living standards of the poor, and he's handed out big contracts to the Revolutionary Guards. George Bush has turned out to be his Savior, it seems.
