Unrest Over Disputed Iran Election

Here we go again folks. Hardline Iranian 'President' Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (or Mahmoud Im-a-nutjob) claims a landslide victory in a staged 'election'. The challenger's supporters cry foul, and clash with police and officials in Tehran.

Um, is anyone surprised by this? Imanutjob has the entire government, down to city dogcatcher (if there is such in Iran) under his thumb one way or another. "Support or death" as a campaign slogan has a pretty definitive ring to it, especially when he climbed to power on a mountain of dead bodies.

This story is so ridiculous as to be almost funny. Not funny like 'ha ha', but funny like 'no shit? Here's your sign'. The incumbent has ruled with an iron fist for 20 years, and the international community expects him to 'softly and silently vanish away'? Wow, bunch of optimists here. Get serious folks. He's so drunk on power, he will do literally anything to keep it. I predict (if it's not happening already) under-the-table trading between North Korea and Iran. Iran gets nukes, and North Korea gets food and fuel oil. Terrorist WIN! Once again, cut the head off. I know, I'm a bit blood-thirsty, but I'm tired of worrying about my brothers-in-arms getting shot and/or killed in places with WAY too much sand. Rather than take the country over, and spend the next 10 years rebuilding it, my solution involves using Special Operations teams the way they were meant to be used, and offing the offending heads of state. Kim Jong Il, this Mahmoud character, and honestly, anyone else threatening to unleash World War III on the planet, would look infinitely better with a bloody hole in their heads.

But, no-one listens to me, so I guess the best we can do is hunker down and wait for this to blow over.

Until Next Time!
