When the Pot Calls the Kettle Black

Ahmadinejad, a nice sounding name, very nice considering he was the head torturer of Evin prison. Evin, another nice sounding name, and for decades torture HQ of the Iranian state. The Shah built it, may God bless the bastard. The elite cadre of the Shah's military state, highly trained in intelligence gathering methods, a euphemism for attaching electrodes to people's genitals, rape, physical and psychological annihilation of people, whose only crime is thinking for themselves. Thousands have died there. And Ahmadinejad was the head honcho there for years. Well, why doesn't that surprise?

Bush, not a nice name. A 'War President', according to himself. I wonder what that means! Does it perhaps indicate that he sees his administration being centred on military activity? At any rate he is the leader of the 'Free World'. And he is on a crusade against the Muslim's stealing his thunder...

Let's see, their track records are surprisingly similar. They are both of the fanatical mind set. They both regard the military as their spiritual home, they are both deeply devout to their version of their respective religions, and regard their holy books as containing full and absolute instructions towards methods of government, they both have a penchant for secret prisons for dealing with their perceived enemies. Christ I gotta stop now, I feel a certain nausea coming over me. You know that sick feeling you get when you realise just how fucked you are?

This pair have taken it upon themselves to battle it out and see whose warped version of the World will end up succeeding.

What we more or less normal people think is that Ahmadinejad is kind of like us, normal(ish). He is not. He wants war, he wants the Americans to attack and bomb the crap out of his people. He believes that there has to be a war, and much death and fire, for the cleansing spirit of Islam to achieve world domination, as the primal faith. Giving a man like that ultimatums will not dissuade him, it is an encouragement to the man to push things even further. Bush does not really need an excuse to bomb the crap out of Iran. He lied about Iraq and got away with it, why should he shirk from simply attacking Iran for trying to carry out its sovereign imperative?

Well here is my suggestion to my countrymen. Crawl under a heavy table. Put your head between your knees. Bend down as far as humanly possible. And kiss your ass goodbye. Nice vote for leader there, but I guess he would have won anyway. Bush style.
