Unfortunately, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has the final word on matters of state and he disagrees.
From ArabNews.com:
"Iran's supreme leader has instructed the government to consider the religious leaders' views and reverse its decision (on letting women into stadiums)," government spokesman Gholamhossein Elham told a news conference. "The government will act based on this instruction," he said.Therefore, despite all his media-hogging bluster and belligerent declarations, Ahmadinejad is nothing more than a marionette for Ali Khamenei. Of course, a prudent observer is not surprised.

In my neck of the woods, women in the Seattle Archdiocese are sometimes required to attend Seattle Mariner’s games as penance. It usually involves a few Hail Mary’s and watching Gil Meche pitch a gem that has him leaving the game with no one out in the top of the 4th having thrown 110 pitches.

All this is weird ... this whole Iran thing just doesn't add up.

I'm confused.
Does this story suggest that Ahmadinejad's power is circumscribed, and therefore his rants about wiping Israel from the pages of history are not to be taken seriously?
Or do they indicate that, at the end of the day, Ahmadinejad's actions must be approved by Khamenei, in which case, the absence of correctives to his comments means that he, in fact, speaks for Khamenei and company when he threatens Israel (and talks about nukes, etc.)?

One can hope, eh?
