Iran elects Hassan Rouhani

Some positive news in Iran electing Hassan Rouhani. He was considered the most moderate of people standing in elections and one if first tasks is to create a civil rights charter.

For me the best part of this election it will be harder for the people to try and argue that they should go to war with Iran.

Another major positive is that Rouhani has since been a harsh critic of Ahmadinejad’s economic and foreign policy. I think this is a major step forward for the Iranian people.
