This morning’s infamous New York Times has the following from our fellow bloggers in Iran. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/30/opinion/30parker.html?_r=1&ref=opinion&oref=slogin
Does it confirm the view that in their distinctive ways Misters Bush and Ahmadinejad still have a lot in common, including the puzzlement of their citizens about what the hell they think they’re doing?
They do have a lot in common in that both need to find an enemy that will distract from their real problems at home. The American Media was disgraceful in that it helped the Iranian president enormously. Let the guy hang himself. The Daily News stoops lower and lower. This coverage bears a strong resemblance to the build up before Iraq.
The president of Columbia started out ok by inviting dialogue. What is the point of his tirade in the “welcoming” speech?
So much politics. So little truth.
I must say that I was rather surprised that no one wrote that they wanted the United States to launch a nuclear attack against Iran in order to liberate them from the Evil Mullahs.
But maybe this group isn’t representative of the population as a whole.
Is it possible that they don’t understand their very own best interests?
