Ahmadinejad: When I Say You Should Die, It Means I Love You
As if on cue to play the ranting villain after Sunday's briefing on Iran's supply of weapons to Iraq, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad appeared on "Good Morning America" to stubbornly say nothing of substance to Diane Sawyer. He did, however, say that you shouldn't take it personally when he and his coterie say "Death To America":
Well, our position is clear: We are opposed to any proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons. We believe that the time is now over for nuke weapons. It is a time for logic, for rationality and for civilization. Instead of thinking of finding new weapons, we are trying to find new ways to love people. And if talking about the "Death to America" slogans, I think you know it yourself, it is not related in any way to American public. Our people have no problem with American public, and we have a very friendly relationship.
Death To America: the new love movement.

So what? "Death to Iran" is chanted in Washington DC every day. A lot of people want to blow the Iranians to smithereens and there is a good chance Bush will do it.

Vadis wrote on February 13, 2007 11:03 AM:"Marg bar Amrika" is a slogan that goes back to the days of the Islamic Revolution in '78-'79; while doubtless chanted with great feeling at the time, it now primarily symbolizes an unwillingness to abandon worn-out conservative rhetoric. The threatening actions of the Bush Administration could give new life to an old slogan, however. That's not what we want.

We had the Iranians at a place where, if they were not going to help, at least they were more than willing to stay out of the way. You just gotta love the Bush foreign policy. Successes in Iran, Korea, Darfur, and countless other places.

"Neener. Neener. Neener."
or is it:
Thermo-glowing his dirt into a ten foot thick sheet of glass that we gotta tunnel under to get at the oil?
