In my last post, I described a new service that tracks what other sites are popular with my readers. I didn’t fully realize it at the time, but one such site is the brand new blog of Mahmood Ahmadinejad, the President of Iran. It’s worth a look (but see the update below first)–in the upper right hand corner, you’ll find a series of flags. Clicking on the second from the left will translate the site into English from Persian (thanks, AfghanMania).
The site also has a “question of the day” feature. Today’s question is: “Do you think that the US and Israeli intention and goal by attacking Lebanon is pulling the trigger for another word war?” Currently, 71,844, or 55% of all replies say yes. 58,919, or 45%, say no.
Frightening.
More on Ahmadinejad here and here.
Update: apparently Ahmadinejad’s blog contains a trojan horse intended to attack visitors with Israel-based IP address who use Windows and Internet Explorer.
Update 2 (8/16/06): the latest word is that Ahmadinejad’s blog does not contain a trojan. For more, including technical details on what caused the initial alarm, see here (thanks, Steve).
