I doubt it’s just me but I really think Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is severely unhinged. It’s coming to the point that I do not seriously fear Iran or anything they may or may not be doing; I have to laugh at them. Take this interesting bit for an example.
Speaking in an interview with the state TV channel of Spain, the president said “Certain bullying powers led by the US are seeking to trample upon the rights of other nations, including that of Iranians, by using international bodies as instruments.” “The problem of the present world is that some people think they are above law and do not want to recognize legitimate rights of other nations,” said the president.
Doesn’t that go both ways though? Hasn’t he made comments about Israel being wiped off the map? Isn’t this slightly hypocritical? I really think he and dear old ‘King George’ would get along a lot more than they think. Both are quite stubborn, steamrolling over anyone or anything that would get in their way and prevent them from doing what they want. Both represent nations that have lost faith and do not wholly support them. I think, really, they ought to get together for a good ol’ barbecue down on rancho del Crawford. They might clear a few things up or, if nothing else, swap a few good ‘look at me and what I can do’ stories.
More strange tales abound though. Try this one for size: Iran is now offering to publish the stories of the 15 UK navy and marine officers they took hostage! For those unaware, the Ministry of Defence initially gave the sailors permission to sell their stories to the media but then hastily withdrew it after strong criticism. Now Iran is offering to publish them as long as the British government allows it.
We will “provide them with photos as well as cassette tapes and video cassettes on their cheerful life during their time in Iran,” said Javanfekr, the top media advisor to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Cheerful?! Seriously?! This country seriously makes me laugh. I mean, it’s easy to laugh at bumbling Bushy and his amazing oratory prowess but this guy, Ahmadinejad, and his whole government are quite a strange incarnation indeed.
