The people had a choice between a moderate hardliner and a 'strong' hardliner. I agree its not much of a choice but they went for the strong hardliner hook, line and sinker. You see they are worried that the US plans to invade them. Everything I read on their choice of the hard hard liner versus the soft hard liner said they picked the hard hard guy because he was an honest competent leader in terms of jobs and fighting corruption. There were plenty of articles on his election in the local press over hear. The soft hard liner had a history of corruption from his earlier tenure in the top slot. You see they are worried that the US plans to invade them. So just like in America where the hardliner, GW Bush, got re elected...the Iranians when for their equivalent. Your ignorance is coming out again and you're making stuff up. Do you realize 50% of Iranians are 25 years old or less, and most Iranians LIKE the USA? It's only the crusty old men (who most of the Iranians DISLIKE) that have the concerns you describe. If the Iranian people's collective will were allowed to express itself, they would quickly become allies of America. It's a small, select few (as I said, crusty old men) who prevent the Iranian majority from achieving what you like to call "a country's manifest destiny". Do you realize it is illegal to dance in public in Iran? Most humans like to dance, you know, weddings, parties, etc. The law comes from these crusty old unelected mullahs, the same mullahs who are disliked by the majority of the Iranian population. I think these mullahs should be destroyed. You seem to think they should be given access to nuclear weaponry. Perhaps I'll just stop suggesting that you advocate things rather than just complain, because your suggestions are extremely dangerous and not very well thought out. Stick to whining and complaining, because you seem to have that down to an art. Why don't you do a back flip and disappear into your own asshole, o brilliant one? Was that one of your answers on a test or something?
