We've got a two-fer. Idiot No. 1 is Iranian Preisident Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who today expressed his desire that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon die. I think I can speak for Sharon and many Israelis and Americans by saying: "Right back at ya!" Idiot No. 2 is broadcaster Pat Robertson who suggested that God caused Sharon's […]
Actually, this one is a combination of culture and religion. Nazir Ahmed appears calm and unrepentant as he recounts how he slit the throats of his three young daughters and their 25-year old stepsister to salvage his family's "honor" -- a crime that shocked Pakistan. The 40-year old laborer, speaking to The Associated Press in […]
A subscription-only editorial in Friday's Wall Street Journal notes that the International Red Cross has finally relented and offered membership to Israel -- sort of. After almost six decades of rejection, Israel saw the road cleared yesterday for its emergency and disaster relief organization to join the International Red Cross. The price of admission was […]
Iran is probably the world's next big trouble spot, especially if the Europeans and the useless International Atomic Energy Agency fail to halt that nation's pursuit of nuclear weapons "power." In a speech today, the Iranian president, who was issued a visa earlier this year to attend the United Nations, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad talked about his […]
Or rather, when he speaks it is torture. Former Vice President Al Gore said Wednesday he had no intention of ever running for president again, but he said the United States would be "a different country'' if he had won the 2000 election, launching into a scathing attack of the Bush administration. "I have absolutely […]
If there was any doubt that the United Nations needed someone like John "Darth Vader" Bolton in the building putting up a fuss, this would dispel it. The United Nations' funding of a Palestinian Arab propaganda campaign timed to coincide with Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip has increased tensions between the U.N. and American […]
It appears as though the world's preeminent state sponsor of terrorism has lived up to its title -- and "elected" a terrorist president. That's right, Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was one of the terrorist leaders who stormed the American embassy and took American citizens captive in 1979. I'm hopeful that Ahmadinejad, a hardliner, will crack down […]
Thanks to actor/reporter Sean Penn, I'm relieved to discover that the radical Muslim ruling minority in Iran isn't really serious about that "Death to America" thing. But he told a film student during a visit to Iran's Film Museum in Tehran on Monday that the "Death to America" slogan chanted each week at Friday Prayers […]
Overshadowed by the Eason Jordan slander of the American military at the Davos conference was statements made by former President Bill Clinton on Iran's "democracy." “Iran is the only country in the world that has now had six elections since the first election of President Khatami (in 1997). (It is) the only one with elections, […]
