Am I the only one embarrassed by the dingbat brouhaha over Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s attempt to visit Ground Zero to lay a wreath?
No, Josh Marshall [1], the sad part is, I expect you’re not.
So what’s the problem exactly? Presumably we can be frank enough to acknowledge that the real issue here is that while Ahmadinejad is not Arab to most of us he looks pretty Arab.
Oh, of course… you don’t know the answer to the question, and so the answer must be that all us crackers are just racist, right? How alarmingly typical.
OK, I’ll break down and give you the story, just this once. (Aren’t I a nice guy?)
There is a link between this creature, and the 1979 Iranian uprising, that you may want to look into. In short, he created that situation. Perhaps it’s the connection to, and your wishing to cover for, the failed Carter administration that blinds you to that particular section of history? In any event you show your lack of understanding of recent history, and thereby your lack of understanding for the whole Islamo-facist situation, here.
Oh, and need I say, he’s a state sponsor of the weaponry and actions that are killing our people in Iraq today, in the name of the very same cause for which the WTC was attacked. I’ll bet you can’t understand why that might annoy Americans. Clearly, it doesn’t annoy YOU.
Not a shock to most of us, Josh, that you can’t put this together for yourself… or won’t try. But, just so you know, you’ve shown yourself as uniquely unqualified to speak on this subject.
Shut up.
