Ignorance is bliss?

Wow --- the Iranian prez got an earful while visiting Columbia last night. An earful of laughter, that is. What a boob! Read some of his whacked-out statements:

  • "For hundreds of years, we've lived in friendship and brotherhood with the people of Iraq. ... Our people are the freest people in the world. ... The freest women in the world are women in Iran."
  • "In Iran, every family who is given a girl -- is given -- in every Iranian family who has a girl, they are 10 times happier than having a son. Women are respected more than men are. They are exempt from many responsibilities. Many of the legal responsibilities rest on the shoulders of men in our society because of the respect, culturally given, to women, to the future mothers." [Ed. note: Who apparently exist only to have babies, nothing more.]
  • Oh, and my personal fave --- "In Iran, we don't have homosexuals like in your country." Check out this link for evidence against his statement.

If only more of us could retreat into a fog of fantasy....even in our jobs! We'd be too busy talking about how great the world is to shoot each other!

Color me convinced. This is pretext enough for provoking a war with this boob's nation.

If only all leaders of countries who look or act differently than the USA could be invited to a university to freely discuss ideas, many of them unpopular... only to find out he's the star of Fox's newest reality TV show!!! Heck, I'd watch. Perhaps we could all phone in to express ourselves democratically, and those leaders with the fewest "votes" at the end of the show are either illegally deposed or have their countries bombed into compliance (we could "vote" on that, too). And think of all the possibilities for celebrity judges!

I knew this political science degree of mine would come in handy eventually.
