Normally when Iran's new hardline, ultraconservative President Ahmadinejad speaks, I feel just like the guy in the background there: somehwere in between trying to comprehend the logic of utter ridiculousness, praying for your people, and hoping maybe, just maybe, this is all just a bad dream (amazingly reminescent of the Bush reelection). Recently in the International Herald Tribune, Ahmadinejad was at it again. His most recent anti-Israel tirade has got me more dumbfounded than usual. Not because the whole of it is inane as the impoverished voting Republican (albeit equally difficult to dismiss as inconsequential), but because some of it...some of it...actually isn't. THAT'S scary.
