Iran runs the Dozens
The other day Iran vox status said to Israel: 'Israel: yo'
momma so fat - you know how fat she is...so fat that when she sits
around the house - she sits around the house... and she ugly too.'
Iranians from Tehran to Shiraz slapped their knees till it hurt. Funny
funny stuff. Well you know, Iran doesn't get out much. Yet they wonder
why the west is trying to prevent them from becoming armed with nuclear
weapons.
What does it mean, Iran's return to demagogue politics.
What is to gain by this behavior. It should be noted that this is a
significant transgression. It is not just a politician saying this or
that nation's leadership is wrong, their policies are misguided, their
people misused. Rather at a national conference "World without Zionism"
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declares "Israel [is] to be wiped off the
map" adding: "Westerners are free to comment, but their reactions are
invalid." This is the logic of a child or drunkard
Iran president stands by Israel remarks.
It is carte blanche for murder by the weak and impressionable
at the very least. It seeks a scapegoat to cover any manner of vice or
corrupt stupidity to erupt from Iran's leaders. It puts a spotlight on
the ethics of irresponsibility. Why should Israel, why should any
nation put up with this? Why should Israel the US or Western nations ignore
this, as not concerning them? Why shouldn't this be recorded as proof
of Iran's illegitimacy as a nation? What can Iran say as that charge is leveled.
The answer is that it means very little. There is little it
can mean. "I don't think he understands that if he says something like
this the world will hear him. I think he's still in mayor of Tehran
mode." is how William Beeman quoted by the CS monitor puts it
What's behind Iranian leader's anti-Israel rant | csmonitor.com.
Its politics; all politics is local. Further as a useful general rule;
foreign affairs discussions, offered publicly are domestic politics
disguised. Genuine foreign affairs is rarely something a nations ruling
elite or regime ever desires the public to become concerned with. The
purpose is interior. Mr. Ahmadinejad is shoring up his base with
rhetoric, not the only politician to do so, demonstrating initiative
and leadership. Not to a small extent understood as protection to the
status of the clerics. And as well an attempt to flush out and exercise
internal dissent
How radical can Iran's president go?.
I imagine there are reasons for this. To become a nuclear power (by
taking control of Iran's nuclear negotiations). To maintain Iran's
insularity in the face of pressures to normalize and globalize. To
assert Shiia leadership across the Islamic world.
Most people could agree that from a certain perspective those
thing may seem like prizes. Can anything good; though, ever come from
such an approach, is this misdirection, deception, and phantoms a way
to the good? In return the Iranian people are not made safer, do
not increase their well being, and sacrifice honor and dignity by
calling for unity given by the power of hatred.
