POPSIran's President Launches Blog (Yes, For Real!) If this isn't a sign of the times, I don't know what is. Because overwhelming traffic this morning took down the site (English version would have been here ), I clipped a pic of what Ahmadinejad 's first entry looked like, as well as the news story on Yahoo. Fun fact #1: Mahmoud invites visitors to vote in his online poll: "Do you think that the U.S. and Israeli intention and goal by attacking Lebanon is pulling the trigger for another world war?" the president asks visitors to the site, offering them the choice to vote 'yes' or 'no'. Fun fact #2: Mahmoud's blog uses RSS feeds and AJAX and runs on a (illegally acquired?) Windows .NET server .
