The Iranian Humbug

Ahmadinejad will deliver an address to counter the Queen's Christmas greetings. His planned Christmas Day message will be to all "bullying powers" in the world. He will even evoke the name of Jesus, the Jew who transformed the world thousands of years ago.

How can someone hate Baby Jesus and Christmas so much that they would try to trump the Queen's attempt at being jolly? This is what happens when no one stands up to a true bully. Ahmadinejad, whose own people cannot heat their homes, could be arrested for reading Western literature, and are jailed and tortured, is a far cry from anything resembling a democratically elected leader. He, along with Mugabe, Kim Jong-Il and Putin, are able to strut around the international stage, make threats, deny atrocities and even stoop to the lowest common denominator by referring to Jesus (whom, I'm sure, Ahmadinejad wouldn't hesitate to torture and kill) because no one will say anything to him.

Why doesn't someone give him the gift of forced removal from Iran, or at least a gift card from Chapter's (he can buy the Bible or Jane Austin)?

And Obama wants to talk to this guy...
