Ahmadinejad and Friends

Foreign Policy profiles the neoconservative sextet—Daniel Pipes, John Bolton, Norman Podhoretz, Joshua Muravchik, Thomas McInerney, and Max Boot—who have taken to the airwaves in a well coordinated push to start raining bombs down on Tehran. Meanwhile on Revolution Day in Tehran, Ahmadinejad touts his success in producing enriched uranium, while opposition groups dominate some of the public appearances, demonstrating again just how vulnerable Ahmadinejad is. One wonders: where would Ahmadinejad be without his neocon adversaries? It’s a perfect case of political symbiosis.
