Indeed, many observers believe that Ahmadinejad is reacting to the masses' increasingly assertive mood as much as he is stoking it.

...program in the United States that specifically focuses on the challenges and opportunities women face in the electoral process,” Budson said. Tanene Allison, one of the 60 program participants, said that it is fitting that the KSG lead the way in improving women’s access to elected office. “[My peers’] dedication to public service and clear thinking about solutions to challenging problems are incredibly needed in legislative halls and executive offices everywhere,” she said. The endowment ensures that the KSG remains committed to cultivating women leaders...
