US Politicians, Not Ahmadinejad, Have Blood on Their Hands
Ernest Hemingway explained the problem many years ago. The first thing politicians do to hide their mismanagement, he said, is inflate the currency; the second thing they do is go to war.
Our currency has been inflated and we are at war. The demonization of the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which you saw take place in New York City and on American television, is just the first step in preparing the country for a third war.
The president of Columbia, Lee Bollinger, disgraced himself. Instead of introducing his invited guest speaker, he launched a tirade of abuse and insults. Obviously, he was in hot water with some of Columbia’s big donors for inviting Ahmadinejad and chose that petty, shabby way of trying to ingratiate himself to the school’s angry sugar daddies. All Bollinger succeeded in doing was making Ahmadinejad look good in comparison with him.
Whether you agree with Iran’s president or not, he’s the wrong guy to try to demonize. First of all, he is not a dictator. He is an elected president with very little power. He has to get past the legislature, and the real power rests with the senior cleric, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Khamenei controls foreign policy and is commander in chief of all of Iran’s armed forces. The legislature rejected nearly all of Ahmadinejad’s recommendations for ministers. When he tried to allow women to attend soccer games, the clerics overruled him.
