Conspiracy Theories

I wonder how you say stainless steel colander in Farsi?

In discussing the spin on the NIE in Washington and Iran, Farideh Farhi of Informed Comment Global Affairs notes that relatives and friends in Iran are talking about the possibility of a secret alliance between the Shrubbery and Ahmadinejad. From the point of view of an Iranian democracy advocate, the Hedgemony’s tactics in dealing with Iran are overshadowing other problems in the country that weaken the ultra-conservatives that Ahmadinejad represents.

Those crazy Persian democracy advocates. I mean the thought of the neonitwits aligning with conservatives in the Iranian power structure is just crazy, right? Ehh, Right‽

There need not be an explicit alliance to an alliance of purpose. Each needs the other to be the evil menace, they are like mirror images.

Having said that, Ahmedinejad isn’t nearly so bad as Bush, because more limited, and has not invaded anyone.

Apparently an American media organ did a man-on-the-street bit in Pakistan and found out that many Pakistani young people think Osama bin Laden works for the CIA and it’s a plot to overthrow the democracy of Pakistan between Bush and Musharraf.

Dr. Cole covers the ground well in his classic post: Fisking the “War on Terror”

And what do you think of Obadiah Shoher’s arguments against the peace process?

Nice spamming, Alex, and I didn’t think these were good ideas when they came from the Nazis, and coming from Lukudniks don’t make them any more palatable.

Ethnic cleansing is the same process, no matter who does it. Mr. Shoher should pay more attention next Passover, he might learn something.
