Okay. I thought Louisianians were dumb. But at least Louisianians know how to look at maps. They need to, otherwise they’d get lost in the woods during hunting season :-).

Steve Bates´s last blog post..Will Los Angeles Stop Cussing?
]]>Hell, half the time the Florida government is unaware that the western Panhandle is in the Central Time Zone.
I live surrounded by people who honest to Dog want to know what tribe Jindal belongs to.
]]>But Kryten, they don’t need to know that, because they’re Americans, and the Iranians, well… they’re darkies. Unseemly mud people. So of course they’re evil and Satanic and stupid and must be destroyed and will be easily destroyed and all that. At least, that’s what 51+% of Americans are quite willing to believe as soon as someone points them in the direction of some suspicious dusky fellers who speak one of them furriner gabble tongues.
Sigh. If the average American were any dumber about the world outside his city limits, the entire nation would disappear into a giant black hole of suck.
]]>I would imagine there are any number of veterans of the Iran-Iraq War willing to point out the problems of combat operations in Iran, even with WMDs.
A sane person might take note of the effects of exposing a major oil field to hard radiation.
Persia/Iran has been attacked dozens of times over the course of several millennia by much better generals than those currently serving, and it still exists as an independent entity. There really is a reason for that. The same can be said of Afghanistan.
]]>Two quotes spring to mind:
Fools never learn.
Stupid is as stupid does.
This is part of the Shi’ia culture. This is how they do things. The people at the top really believe this stuff, and it has to be taken into consideration when dealing with them. The closest we come to the structure of the real movers and shakers in the government of Iran is a law school faculty, which is scary enough, but it isn’t like the Catholic hierarchy or any other Western religious model.
Just leave them alone. We have enough problems.
]]>Sorry… I just have a fit of laughter every time some ‘know-it-all clueless ignoramus ass-kisser’ in the USA mentions, usually in a hysterical tone, Iran. 🙂 These cowardly idiots have NO idea whatsoever what Iran is, how Iran operates, and just how nasty they can get! And they don’t need to make any nukes! Idiots.
