Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has recently started his own blog. There’s a link to the English-language site. [RFE/RL via Payvand News].

FYI, Ahmadinejad’s 60 Minutes interview, which aired last night, can be found here.

Kim Jong-il has had his own blog for a while and seems to have resumed updating it.

    The official DPRK page (http://www.korea-dpr.com) is pretty silly in and of itself, as I’m sure you know. Authoritarian nations seem to always have bad web design; too bad the USSR folded before the Internet took off in a big way.

    The best part are the differences in “message” that you get if you select different languages on their main menu page: http://www.korea-dpr.com/menu.htm

    For America, you get a lovely crest of lightning and olive wreaths (http://www.korea-dpr.com/users/usa/).

    For Russia, you get a mushroom cloud and text decrying the horrible United States (http://www.korea-dpr.com/users/russia/).

    Got to keep your content specialized, of course.
