Ahmadinejad & Assad: "The Two Stooges"

Iranian psychopath President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Syria’s ignorant President Bashar Assad both gave speeches yesterday that were covered broadly on CNN International and BBC International. Sitting here in Europe, I could only watch this coverage with wide-eyed consternation, as both of these networks covered these speeches as if these two are actually real statesmen. These two are, for lack of better words to explain them, ignorant, bombastic, sociopaths. They have a skewed perspective of reality. They are all bark and no bite. But, because of coverage by the world’s liberal, elite media, they are empowered to use the rhetoric they used yesterday to whip up the intense feelings of hatred in their peoples, and the peoples of the greater Arab world, against Israel and the US.

Both spoke of how Hezbollah had defeated Israel. Hello? Are they the only two people in the world who’ve not seen the pictures of southern Lebanon? Israel laid waste to southern Lebanon, and it would be best for the world if they just continued for a few days more and leveled all of Syria and Iran as well. Give Ahmadinejad and Assad something to go spend their time on. Rebuilding their countries and begging for humanitarian aid from all the Christian Crusader countries with a conscience. They’d surely not get much help from their Arab brothers, that’s for sure. They hate each other just one notch lower on the hatred scale than they hate us. In fact, hate is a driving force in what these people are all about. Without an enemy, real or imagined, to hate, they’d have to build a country, build an economy, shape a government, and respond to democratic forces.

Both of these cats claim they’ve won, that they have the world’s market on good ideas cornered. And if you only watched CNN and the BBC, you’d believe them. When, in reality, the only thing they have going for them is hate. How sadly impotent is that?
