Iran: Ahmadinejad Calls For Demographic Revolution

Tehran, 23 Oct. (AKI) - After two decade of policies by previous Iranian governments to contain the growth of the country's population, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called on Iranians to have more children. After the initial demographic boom, when the population doubled following Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979, Iran initiated a plan in 1988 to control the birth rate, based on a major campaign promoting the use of contraception. The country succeeded in reducing the growth rate of the population from 3.2 to 1.4 percent per year. Now however Ahmadinejad has said he would like to take u-turn in this policy.
"I don't agree with those who say that there is no need to have more than two children," said Ahmadinejad speaking to parliamentarians in Iran. He then went on to say that the government intends to reduce the number of hours women are required to work, in relation to the number of children they have.
"I am not saying that women shouldn't work but they presence outside of the home should not in any way compromise their principal mission which is to educate their children," said the Iranian president.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that he is convinced that Iran "has the capacity to satisfy the needs of 120 million of its citizens."
"The West fears more than anything else, our population growth and we must defeat them in this battle," he said.

Is War With Israel The Next Step For Iran?

The Iranian government will fight with utmost brutality. The result will be the destruction of the beautiful Persian culture. Iran is not only harboring the terrorist group Hezbollah; it has adopted their method of fighting. Mahmood Ahmadinejad, in his interview with Mike Wallace, said that the number of registered suicide bombers has increased from 2000 in January 2006 to the current number of 54,000... While Iran was at war with Iraq, Khomani kept referring to the eight year war as a blessing. Iran’s only “blessing” from that war was over 1,000,000 casualties, including half a million dead, The regime, of course, survived many uprisings, killing over 2500 of its opposition per month and no one from the international community even blinked... Anticipating hard times, key figures have already pulled their assets from national banks; at the same time, trying to find allies among the very fragile circle of friends in the Arab community. Iran will stage a war on Israel and the US on all fronts in the coming months. US troops in the Persian Gulf can be hit by their fast boats; at least that is what Iran banking on. Iran will not put all their eggs in one basket. They will hit Israel at the same time as they step up the militia aggravation of US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan; as well as hitting US troops via supporters in Arabic countries. And, Iran will interrupt oil flow.
