Iranian Leader Starts BlogPosted on Aug 14, 2006
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, has launched a personal Web log. His first entry scooped Gawker.com with the world’s first pictures of Tom Cruise’s and Katie Holmes’ baby, Suri. Kidding. The blog post rails against the U.S. and Israel, natch. (Thanks for the correction, readers John and Ramin.)

I think its very enterprising of him. He should not use it for any underhand purposes and to incite violence and public sentiment.

*Why do you always attack the thoughts of someone who doesnt agree with you?*
Speaking for myself, I wasn’t attacking you. Why do you resort to name-calling?
*And the fact that he learned to hate the US in elementary school doesnt make him intelligent, it makes you wonder what the hell they teach in school over there.*
True. But, if you dig deeper for reasons, it makes you wonder what they teach in American schools to make quite a few Americans think that its perfectly okay to ride roughshod over other people.
*As for xenophobia….Does thinking that a leader of a country who says crazy things that you disagree with considered xenophobia??? If so, then nearly 99% of the left in this country is a xenophobe based on their dislike and contempt for George Bush. *
Too bad they didn’t become xenophobic earlier.
*Here is why I believe Ahmadinejad ranks high on the unintentional comedy scale. First, very few leaders in the world today openly call for the eradication of another nation.*
Calling is one thing - doing, as President Bush has done, is another.
*Second, very few leaders in the world today openly threaten other countries and promise nuclear armegeddon.*
Do read the following article -
Is the Bush Administration Planning a Nuclear Holocaust?
*Third, his western style suits look ridiculous on him. He should either dress in traditional Iranian garb, or get his suits from Saville Row like Assad. The halfway thing isnt cutting it.*
Well, you know where he blogs. Inform him. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to have a Westerner advising him on the fashion front next.
*Fourth, and always remember this, he wants you dead. Plain and simple. Remembering a line from the first Terminator movie, he doesnt feel pain, he doesnt feel remorse, and he absolutely will not stop until you are dead. *
Stop being paranoid. Plain and simple. And try watching some less nerve-racking movies. Remember that line - ‘It’s a small world afterall’.

Tommy - thanks for the note on the translations
As for the rest of the moonbats, I’m still not sure what George Bush and the Jews running the government have to do with anything in this article. Why do you always attack the thoughts of someone who doesn’t agree with you? And the fact that he learned to hate the US in elementary school doesn’t make him intelligent, it makes you wonder what the hell they teach in school over there.
As for xenophobia….Does thinking that a leader of a country who says crazy things that you disagree with considered xenophobia??? If so, then nearly 99% of the left in this country is a xenophobe based on their dislike and contempt for George Bush. Get a clue before you use big words.

There is an English version. Check the site.
As for ranking 8.4 on the unintentional comedy scale, I guess that will happen the day President Bush guest blogs and replies to the 18 page letter he got way back - in ‘allotted fifteen minutes’, with fifteen typos.

I think all us Americans should all learn Hebrew first so that we can follow the conversations among the people who control our foreign policy and our Pentagon.

The article says: “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose speeches are riddled with anti-U.S. rhetoric, also described how he was angered by American meddling in Iran even when he was at elementary school.”
It sounds like he was an intelligent child.
In 1953 the US and Britain engineered a coup against the democratically elected, secular, and peaceable (but left-leaning) President Mosadeq of Iran, ushering in the brutal reign of the Shah, who terrorized his country through his torturing secret police - with US and Israeli connivance - for the ensuing 17 years.
There is nothing wrong with being angry about that. I mean, it’s not like we ever even apologized.

His blog is not in Arabic. That’s Farsi, the primary language of Iran.

I just want to mention that Ahmadinejad just like most Iranians speak in Persian, not Arabic. Persian is the language of the great Poets Rumi, Khayyam, and Hafez. In fact Persian language is one of the branches of Indo-European Languages. It is much more similar to European Languages than Arabic.
