Iranian President Calls Holocaust a 'Myth'
By ALI AKBAR DAREINI, Associated Press Writer
TEHRAN, Iran
Iran's hard-line president lashed out with a new outburst at Israel on Wednesday, calling the Nazi Holocaust a "myth" used as a pretext for carving out a Jewish state in the heart of the Muslim world.
Perfect, just when we thought the world was running out of ‘nut cases’, we have a new one to throw into the mix. It’s starting to look like a Snack Plate at the company Christmas party.
Oh, wait, am I allowed to use the term Christmas party? Would that line be more correct if I typed Holiday party, or Festiva (of Seinfeld fame) or Kwanzaa? So hard to keep up…
So we have the eraser head dude in North Korea. (Is it just me, but does the North Korean flag remind anyone else of Texaco?) We have Scarface running Venezuela and now this ‘nutcase’. This, of course, doesn’t even address the whackos-in-waiting all over the world just dieing to jump into the mix. Speaking of dieing, lets rethink Switzerland’s approach to world involvement. That would be of course no involvement.
I say let the Israeli Government deal with this newest issue and I have no doubt of their ability to do so. When we get done with Iraq, let’s take the “hands off” approach to worldwide issues.
Let’s invent a really cool knife and even neater watches and let that be our claim to fame. We can offer emotional support and focus our military resources on domestic issues. Hurricanes seem to jump to mind.
I have friends in Canada who are always quick to jump on the US and our actions; but, yet when I suggest that we close our borders and just work on our own issues, they also protest. It seems these very same folks also feel we have an obligation to the rest of the World but should just follow their suggestions on how we should be involved. This of course coming from a country whose biggest success is Wayne Gretsky and he moved to LA.
So I say lets give neutrality a shot. This ‘being involved’ is way overrated.
