President Ahmadinejad’s Personal Hygiene

This is another from PopBitch.

One of the things Iran’s President Ahmadinejad is most known for in political and diplomatic circles is his B.O. He has been described to us as smelling “musty” and “like a billy-goat”. Our drunk Whitehall source this week gave an interesting take on the West’s attitude towards him. The Chinese are said to be appalled by Ahmadinejad’s standards of personal hygiene – it offends their cultural norms. And so, despite everything – democracy, freedom ‘n all that, Britain and the US don’t mind him staying in power. The Chinese are not likely to give political support to somebody so weird/smelly. Which will help delay Iran getting nuclear weapons.

Let’s hope the last bit of the story is right.

On another serious note, someone who treats his countrymen and especially countrywomen, doesn’t deserve to be in power.  The sooner he goes and Iran gets a proper non-religious democracy the better.

But I doubt, I’ll see that in my lifetime. 

Can anybody name a Muslim country that has moved from a religius dictatorship to something even a little bit better?
