A Thin Silver Lining To The Iran Election Catastrophe
Finally, almost everyone will see the Iranian theocracy for what it is - thugs with prayer books. I don't think we'll hear much anymore that Ahmadinajad's calls to destroy Israel are being misinterpreted. Hopefully, this will make it easier for the US and the world to be more intelligent in setting policies vis-a-vis Iran.

1. We'll also see that there is an important distinction between leaders and

followers. George Bush representing Dick Cheney told us that Iran was one of the three worst countries in the world along with North Korea and Iraq. We didn't find that the people in Iraq were so bad, our soldiers made friends with many of them and boasted about what they were doing for them, though the part about being greeted with flowers didn't exactly pan out and in fact some fought against the U.S. and U.K. invasion to protect their tribes. We are finding that some Iranians appreciate the voting part of democracy.

The essential key is this: To the followers of radical and non-radical Islam, the U.S., U.K., and Israel have been the axis of evil and we can't accept the truth that we keep invading them, their earth resources, and won't leave them alone. And that we stack the decks against them by supplying, buying, and selling protection for each other. Israel with their nuclear stock and technology and money gift from of us of millions of dollars a day in support.

The other heart of the problem is this: Those who are after the entire earth find political leaders to carry out the 'big take'. They also find radical and non-radical religious leaders to aid them - some religious leaders want more than the power over the souls - they want religious government.

There is no Christianity/Judaic <> Moslem war here - there is a power <> people war here.

I wish the Iranians who are fighting for their rights God speed - may the wind be at their backs and the votes recounted or revoted. And that no more will die at the hands of the powers that be and their selected political leaders.

2. Aw shucks. Ama-do-the-job is a victim of lying Zi-o-nist agitators, didn't you know?
Okay, say your neighbor is building a nuclear weapon in his backyard. It is in HIS backyard, it is not in YOUR backyard. What do you have to mix into it for when you could really be accomplishing something with your life, minding your own business and watching MTV? Guns don't kill people. PEOPLE kill people. Same with nukes. Nuclear weapons don't kill people. PEOPLE do. What is needed is Eastern meditation. Imagine that you don't worry about the world and just worry about your own life. With this positive thinking attitude think of all you could accomplish in life instead of obsessing over a silly lil ole nukeepooh. Listen to Ama-do-the-job, leave him alone and let him do the job. What job would that be?

This job:

Remember. There was no Holocaust and we'll nuke anybody who says there was. Got that?

So it's settled. Iran's nuclear program is only for making electricity. All those expensive Iranian Shihab-3 missiles that can go thousands of miles are meant to go all that way just to carry bubble gum. Bubble gum really packs a bang, lemme tellya.

Anyway, there's nothing Israel can do about it since the Shihabs are pointed at Israel's Dimona nuclear plant. One false move by Israel and it's a nuclear disaster. So here's what. Do nothing. Let Iran get the bomb. Finish playing your checkers game.

Keep chewing gum, snapping your fingers and saying "right on" every time someone says that Ama-do-the-job is innocent and the fault lies with Israel.
