iran's new president

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected President of Iran in June of this year. Since then, his many accomplishments include:

• Saying that Israel was a "tumor" that should be "wiped off the map" (link)
  
• Denying the holocaust (link)
• Banning "Western music" from state-run TV and radio stations (link)
  

The BBC has an interesting profile of Mahmoud here. Aside from making a few headlines, though, it turns out Mahmoud might not be all that much of a problem - at least according to this article from the Guardian. Reports of a planned attack by Israel on Iran have surfaced; others have said such a thing is unlikely to happen.
