Kafka's World

Sensible people everywhere were pleased that NYC didn't allow Iranian President
Ahmadinejad to place a wreath at the WTC site and that Columbia University
rescinded the offer to let him speak. If you let a foreign idiot like that express his
views, before long the entire world will want freedom of speech.

I hate Ahmadinejad for all the same reasons you do. For one thing, he said he wants
to "wipe Israel off the map." Scholars tell us the correct translation is more along
the lines of wanting a change in Israel's government toward something more
democratic, with less gerrymandering. Huh, only brown-nosing-to-terrorist crinoids
listen to scholars when the tabloids offer their own helpful monosyllabic
interpretations.

Ahmadinejad also called the holocaust a "myth." Well he can go stick his head up a
dead bear's bum! A myth is something a society uses to frame their understanding
of their world, and act accordingly. It's not as if the world created a whole new
country because of holocaust guilt and gives it a free pass no matter what it does.
That's Iranian crazy talk.

Those Iranians need to learn from the American example. In that country, if the clear
majority of the public opposes the continuation of a war, their leaders will say
they're terrorist-loving idiots and do whatever they damn well please. They might
even increase taxes to do it. That's called leadership.

If Ahmadinejad thinks he can be our friend by honoring the victims of terrorism and
opening a dialogue, he underestimates our ability to misinterpret him. Anyone
would think that Americans weren't the only nationality killed at the WTC. What a
twat.
