Chutzpah Unparalleled

Another letter from the distinguished and honourable Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? How very interesting, how very nice. The president of Iran writing directly to the American people. To capture the hearts and minds of Americans. Isn't that a nice turn-about? An avuncular lecture on human rights and entitlements addressed to the American populace from the president of Iran.

After all, if the United States is so given to reaching the hearts and minds of Arab populations, of Afghanistan's population, to encourage them to recognize the United States' troop presence as liberators, eager and willing to lead them to democracy and all the goods that normally accrue from that political/social/ecnomic triumph, then why not the Iranian theocratic dictatorship, human-rights abusers extraordinaire turn to the same device?

This device to save face while offering hope to an embattled population does have merit, and can produce results useful to both the oppressed and their purported saviours, after all. Trouble is, of course, that Ahmadinejad is resorting to the tediously tiresome, yet surprisingly well-used and, in many, far too many audiences, welcome tirades. Those age-old libels of Jewish domination of world finances, news sources, governmental lobbies.

With delightful cheekiness Ahmadinejad instructs Americans on what is happening to them within the comfort of their own privileged society which honours equality of persons, freedom of expression, tolerance and respect of others that "civil liberties in the United States are being increasingly curtailed". How about that? Coming from the president of a country where civil liberties are completely absent, that's quite the statement.

It is exactly fanatical jihadists like Mr. Ahmadinejad and his ilk that have been the cause of world upheaval of late. It is as a direct result of Mr. Ahmadinejad's fulminations and intents and that of his religiously-inspired jihadist consorts that the United States in its absorption with the ongoing need to protect its population and their vaunted freedoms that some elements of civil liberties have been curtailed.

However, as the world knows American policy is completely ruled and regulated by Jewish control of "a substantial portion of the banking, financial and media sectors".
