Iran's Dixie Chick?

Iran's Samira Makhmalbaf took home the Grand Jury prize at Cannes for At Five in the Afternoon, by all accounts, a powerful film about the Taliban's oppression of women. But don't mistake her for a George W. Bush fan:

"I would like to dedicate this prize to all the women of the world," said Makhmalbaf, the youngest of the 20 directors competing for the top Cannes prizes.

"My film is about a woman who dreams of being president but as George W. Bush is the world's most powerful president, then I'd rather remain a director", she said.
