Possibly one the funnier titles of an article in a while.
Iranian leaders will always believe Anglo-Saxons are plotting against them. by Christopher Hitchens
*snort*
That might be because sometimes they are Chris. 😉 😛
and then, there’s this….: (H/T The Corner @NRO)
Mohammad: Excuse me, sir. I have a message for the international community. Would you please let me tell it?
Roberts: Yes, go ahead.
Mohammad: Americans, European Union, international community, this government is not definitely — is definitely not elected by the majority of Iranians. So it’s illegal. Do not recognize it. Stop trading with them. Impose much more sanctions against them. My message…to the international community, especially I’m addressing President Obama directly – how can a government that doesn’t recognize its people’s rights and represses them brutally and mercilessly have nuclear activities? This government is a huge threat to global peace. Will a wise man give a sharp dagger to an insane person? We need your help international community. Don’t leave us alone.
Chetry: Mohammad, what do you think the international community should do besides sanctions?
Mohammad: Actually, this regime is really dependent on importing gasoline. More than 85% of Iran’s gasoline is imported from foreign countries. I think international communities must sanction exporting gasoline to Iran and that might shut down the government.
Oy. Wake me up when the nightmare is over, Please. 🙄
Good night to you all and God Bless.
The title of that article is indeed funny to some people, but it is also scary. It is not a reassuring feeling to know that Iranian leaders will never trust westerners, because this will always mean imminent conflict. Unfortunately this is a vicious cycle.
