The two presidents (neighbor countries)

First of all, it might as well be a propaganda that Iranian President was sleeping on ground. But what’s a Propaganda: publicity to promote something: information put out by an organization or government to promote a policy, idea, or cause

So, what’s wrong with that? You have a brain, hopefully, so use it and make your own choice to deduce whatever you want to take out from this. If the picture shows REALITY, I am FOR this propaganda. Politically correct word would be “Publicity” or “Communication of a Lifestyle” or something of that sort. Also, remember, he’s not an average joe, he’s THE PRESIDENT OF IRAN and anyone around him might feel liberty to take his photo with or without asking his permission.

Here’s a comparative picture for you and possibly others:

Asleep somewhere between Derry and Salem, N.H., 1/6/2008. With three rallies down and two more to go, Obama catches a quick nap on his campaign bus as it headed for Salem. I once asked him when we were traveling through Illinois and he was about to fall asleep, if he cared if I took a picture. He said I was fine photographing him until his jaw dropped. This night his jaw dropped after I took three frames. (Callie Shell)

What do you make of this?

Many things have changed since when this thread was posted.

First Musharraf is not the president of Pakistan any more, so we should divert our energies towards Zardari now.

Also one should understand that Iran has a supreme council that actually controls the country. Ali Khamenei is currently the supreme leader of Iran. Even if, as you suggests this is not a propaganda , Ahmedinejad is under the full auspices of this council. He has to follow what the council suggests. Maulvis are currentky ruling the country and many acts are propagated not just as a goodwill , that is showing people how humble their leaders are, but also to keep on clinging onto power by creating a sense of commonality.
