Watch the rage rise
The New York Times has a good feature on the political realities in Iran; President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a powerful and shrewd man: Whether his 63 percent victory is truly the will of the people or the result of fraud, it demonstrated that Mr. Ahmadinejad is the shrewd and ruthless front man for a clerical,…

Good Zionists are really hard to find
Any Jewish leaders want to condemn the rantings of confirmed Zionist Frank Gaffney, here writing last week in the Washington Times about Obama’s Cairo speech?

How to kill Persians with a smile
Deakin University’s Scott Burchill documents freaks of nature: Pomeranians are small, extroverted dogs with origins traceable to Egypt, who can develop the habit of barking excessively if their behaviour is rewarded (i.e. allowed to beg for food). Bombiranians are a small group of extroverted neo-cons, primarily Zionist and traceable to Israel and the US, who…

The West should stay hopeful
Robert Fisk on the weird world of Iranian politics: It is certainly odd that Ahmadinejad denies Hitler’s greatest crime and then accuses his opponents of being Hitler. If Hitler didn’t kill the Jews of Europe, which crimes, one wonders, was Iran’s weird President thinking of?
