Ahmadinejad to Obama: You're not my friend any more!

I guess this means that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has not only de-friended Obama on Facebook, but has also unfollowed him on Twitter.

"Definitely by hasty remarks you will not be placed in the circle of friendship with the Iranian nation. Therefore I advise you to correct your interfering stances," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.

I can't help but wonder if the situation in Iran wasn't deliberately precipitated by the regime as a pretext to cut off what little dialog there was over their nuclear program and to start booting nosy western journalists out of the country and in general lock down the entire country.

If so, it appears there may be unintended consequences.
