Many years ago the Iranian television broadcast a film about a group of school children ‎who went to visit a zoo with their teachers. During their tour of the gardens, one of the ‎teachers noticed that one of the students is missing from the group. Alarmed, she notified ‎the others and they counted. Yes, one of the students was indeed not with them. They ‎broke up into groups and began a search for the missing person. But they found no trace ‎of him. So they decided to go to the management of the zoo and inform it of the missing ‎student, who also happened to be the youngest among them. ‎

Meanwhile, in another corner of the zoo, the missing student was doing whatever he ‎wanted: throwing stones at birds, uprooting flowers, muddying the water. He did all these ‎without a bit of concern or awareness that he had broken off from the group with whom ‎he had come to the zoo. But when lunch time came, his thoughts changed and he ‎remembered the others. He looked around and, not seeing them, walked to one of the ‎offices of the gardens where he announced, “My class is lost.”‎

And this is exactly what is happening to President Ahmadinejad in today’s Iran where his ‎teachers and co-ideologue (known as the Principalists) classmates have all been “lost”.‎

Ahmadinejad, his teachers and classmates have been touring the political zoo in Iran for ‎the last three years. The result of this tour - ie uprooting the land of Iran - has been the ‎caging the vocal birds and the unleashing of satanic extremist forces. In this way, the ‎security that hegemonists need has been attained while Iran’s security has been forgotten. ‎

To maintain this suppressive atmosphere, the ruling faction in Iran has been in agreement ‎to cage all the birds by silencing any voices it did not like such as students, human rights ‎activists, members of writers associations, Kurdish teachers, Bahais, syndicate-‎demanding workers, clerics advocating the separation of the state from religion, human ‎rights attorneys, etc.‎

But since there has been no competition in suppressing the Iranian nation, this has led to ‎internal competition for power among power-hungry “brothers”.‎

This is how the teachers and classmates among the so-called principalists got lost in the ‎zoo of politics in the Islamic Republic of Iran. Every teacher formed a group by enlisting ‎a number of students. The youngest of the students was Ahmadinejad, who with the ‎money from the treasury in his pockets, roamed around and thought that the class has lost ‎its way.‎

But in the last months of the current administration, and the final year of the Majlis, each ‎side now accuses the other of violating the constitution, a law which has been relegated to ‎a caricature and used merely as a tool in the internal battles of the ruling factions.‎

Ahmadinejad issues “constitutional” warnings asking why the others are not allowing ‎him, to dispense of the money as he likes.‎

The right-wing lawmakers in the Majlis too - whose records are full of constitutional ‎violations - have in this round of battles suddenly become cognizant of the “law” and ‎who are now asking to be either included in the game of politics and power, or who want ‎Ahmadinejad to stay in the confines of his position. In short, those who call themselves ‎‎“Principalists” and “brothers” a chaotic battle is raging for more power.‎

Alas, it seems that all the principalist brothers have forgotten that the youngest student, ‎the class-mates and even the teachers have all gotten lost. So the affairs of this ‎principalist school will not be put to order even by such actions as resorting to the law, ‎which these gentlemen have already shown not to believe in anyway.‎
