Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer has a great piece on how the leader of Iran is pretty much convinced that the end of the world is near and Iran must make way for the return of the 12th Imam or Shiite Islam's messiah. I thought it was a good column on the what is rolling around in the head of Iran's current president but I'll let you see a brief sample of the regime's new man:
The closest we've come to a messianically inclined leader in America was a secretary of the interior who 24 years ago, when asked about his stewardship of the environment, told Congress, ``I don't know how many future generations we can count on before the Lord returns; whatever it is we have to manage with a skill to leave the resources needed for future generations.''I'd say that maybe the US should encourage the large percentage of the Iranian community who want to be free of the mullahs and Ahmadinejad once and for all to get to cracking before their new leader brings about the end of Iran via his end-of-times delusions. And we wonder why Israel is concerned.
But James Watt's domain was the forest and his weapon of choice was the chainsaw. He was not in charge of nuclear weapons to be placed on missiles that are paraded through the streets with, literally, Israel's name on them. (They are adorned with banners reading ``Israel must be wiped off the map.'')
It gets worse. After his speech to the U.N. in September, Ahmadinejad was caught on videotape telling a cleric that during the speech an aura, a halo, appeared around his head right on the podium of the General Assembly. ``I felt the atmosphere suddenly change. And for those 27 or 28 minutes, the leaders of the world did not blink. ... It seemed as if a hand was holding them there, and it opened their eyes to receive the message from the Islamic Republic.''
Negotiations to deny this certifiable lunatic genocidal weapons have been going nowhere. Everyone knows they will go nowhere. And no one will do anything about it.
