Mahmoud Ahmedinejad addressing UN |
Many Leaders throughout the world have made a place in history by both right and wrong ways. Some were introduced to a strong place in history via their strive for welfare of general public while others came to be know as tyrants in history. Leaders like Hitler, Napoleon, Joseph Stalin etc paved their way to political prominence by being hard liners, who made hard decisions that lead to horrific Consequences. But all the same it will not be fair to say all of them were Tyrants, If we take into consideration Genghis Khan or Joseph Stalin they were pure tyrants who suppressed anyone who was at contrary with them.
Just like that it will be unfair to term Ahmedinejad as the second type of leaders that I just described, and all that just because he was a hard line Leader who was staunchly opposed to come on terms with US and Israel. I also believe that ahmedinejad should have been more diplomatic rather goint to an extreme but despite that Its just a plausible and Rational thought, I mean how can one just term someone as that second type when their extreme position towards Israel is factually supported by the notion that Israel is single nuclear power in middle east. keeping that in mind one should not jump to conclusions about type of leadership the leader is portraying. Just as Israel has been Pre-emptively Defensive all this time and takes all measures to safeguard itself, Ahmednejad was doing the same but the difference is the latter restrict himself mostly to words to get Diplomatic Advantage.
Mahmoud Ahmedinejad left office yesterday after two terms spread over almost 8 years of Presidency and was replaced by the President elect Hassan Rouhani who was approved to be a president by Ayatollah Khamenei. Retiring from Presidential office has given him time to form University along with an office so that he can sustain his presence in politics. Other then that Ahmedinejad plans on launching several Publications.
The first presidential Campaign was filled with slogans of strengthening economy, helping the poor that appeared to be realistic because of his poor but not uneducated background. He did deliver, helped poor allot and transformed Iran into a economically strong country but faced downfall during second term in office when the economy started to cripple due to all those economic sanctions on oil sales and international banking Sanctions resulting from his staunch and extreme opposition to West. That is when everything started to turn around and he lost public trust.
In contrast to first term where he portrayed himself as a spokesman for Supreme Leader, in second term Ahmedinejad Started to build a political circle of supporters and started challenging the Dominance of Conservative Clerics certainly making matters far more worse for him. Everything else followed these events and led to a Ahmedinejad being domestically as well as internationally defamed.
