Insane Iranians

Last week Iran "held" elections that led to Tehran's hard-line, theocratic and ultra-Conservative Mayor to be elected President of Iran. In Iran's system, the elections don't matter. Let's call them what they are: Irrelevant. There's a religious council led by the Ayatollah that honestly runs Iran and all the President is is a puppet. The Hard-Line Puppet has announced that European Union talks will continue but that their "peaceful" nuclear work will, too. Many believe that Iran is pulling a North Korea: Work on a civilian nuclear program then suddenly pull out of Nuclear Proliferation treaties when you can start development of nuclear weapons rapidly because you've already acquired all that you need through the civilian program.

That's not all he's saying, however. His nation doesn't need us, for anything, he claims. Well, he'll need our support to enter the World Trade Organization and Bush has recently gone on the record as saying he'd give it to them, which I think is a ridiculous move. They shouldn't be rewarded for refusing to even take babysteps toward assuring the world in a real, concrete manner that they aren't moments away building nuclear weapons that they plan to sell Osama bin Laden. We already have Pakistani scientists to do that.

This new man, their new "President," he's quite the character. Refused to wave to reporters after he won the Presidency, claiming that a President's hands are for working and not waving. That struck me as quirky, at best, and set off fears that the man is mentally unhinged at worst.

National Review, a magazine that I'm not very fond of because it tilts so far to the Right that if it leaned over further it would grow an extra-chromosome and become a member of Lee Atwater's "extra-chromosome crowd" of Conservatives, declares that the nuclear threat from Iran has gone from bad to worse.

I've always been in awe of Iran and the attitude that leads them to believe that burning Infidel Flags (Israeli and American) and forcing women to cover their ankles is more important than providing economic aid to their people and making their cities safe and developing medicine and hospitals. Of course, it's the same attitude that leads George W. Bush to oppose stem-cell research. God forbid that these people develop nuclear weapons as it would be disastrous. I can't envision any scenario in which Iran doesn't sell nuclear weapons to terrorists. They couldn't possibly use them themselves, and why else would they need them? Israel and America.

Iran is under no threat from America or Israel. They're pulling a Bush and fabricating a crisis.
