Today's Telegraph reports that Ahmadinejad has instituted a rating system to crack down on a restive student population.
I think that this is a good trend reflecting dissatisfaction with Ahmadinejad's last-day mongering freaks, but as Allah over at Hot Air says:
It’s not good news long term. The more “centrist” the regime is, the more Iranians will tolerate it. An apocalyptic, sharia-babblin’ fundie in the top spot could be just what the doctor ordered for stirring up a popular uprising.Time will tell.
