Iran Forges It's Way Backward

CTV.ca | Iran hardliner calls for unity after election win: "The ultraconservative mayor of Tehran called for national unity after winning Iran's presidential election, saying he seeks to make his country a 'modern, advanced, powerful, and Islamic' model for the world.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's taped statement, which was broadcast Saturday on state-run radio, appeared aimed at easing concerns about his conservative views.

Reformers say he will undo years of liberal progress, taking the country back to the restrictions imposed after the 1979 Islamic Revolution."
