It's not the same man & this isn't important!
Reader comment on item: Ahmadinejad - Hostage Taker?
Submitted by Morton Doodslag (United States), Nov 14, 2006 at 20:11
That does not look like a 23 year old to me on the left. While there are some superficial similarities, I highly doubt this is a photo of the man. But why is this even important? Are we still unsure what this man believes in? Are we unclear in the slightest what he intends? This issue is a trivial side show at best.
