Fruitcake

According to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iranians do not believe in war. Israel is an invader and it cannot continue its life. Iran wants "peace and friendship for all (except Israel and the Great Satan, of course).

Ahmadinejad proudly described the reaction to his speech in September of last year to the useless debating society on the Hudson, “one of our group told me that when I started to say ‘In the name of God the almighty and merciful,’ he saw a light around me, and I was placed inside this aura. I felt it myself. I felt the atmosphere suddenly change, and for those 27 or 28 minutes, the leaders of the world did not blink. … And they were rapt.” Mahmoud concluded that speaking engagement by praying for the return of the Mahdi, "O mighty Lord, I pray to you to hasten the emergence of your last repository, the Promised One, that perfect and pure human being, the one that will fill this world with justice and peace." How delusional is that?

Today at Columbia this loony tune rambled on about the divine, god, physics, and scientists doing the enlightened work of the book of the prophet. It was beyond nonsensical.

Ahmadinejad would remind me of Randle Patrick McMurphy, but Randall usually knew what the hell he was talking about – like when he said, “I'm talking about my life, I can't seem to get that through to you. I'm not just talking about one person, I'm talking about everybody. I'm talking about form. I'm talking about content. I'm talking about interrelationships. I'm talking about God, the devil, Hell, Heaven.”

Of course ol’ Randall was entirely sane. Mahmoud is beyond fruitcake. And he’s about to get his finger on the big trigger. Unless we find the guts to get him first.
