I'll tell you what, boy: that ol' Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is one crazy fuck. Charles Krauthammer explains that the new Iranian president
is a confirmed believer in the coming apocalypse. Like Judaism and Christianity, Shiite Islam has its own version of the messianic return -- the reappearance of the Twelfth Imam. The more devout believers in Iran pray at the Jamkaran mosque, which houses a well from which, some believe, he will emerge.Is there any question that we need to have all of our available fingers in the pie of the Middle East right about now? We need to be there to put the squeeze on this unstable bastard and keep him from destroying the region.
When Ahmadinejad unexpectedly won the presidential elections, he immediately gave $17 million of government funds to the shrine. Last month Ahmadinejad said publicly that the main mission of the Islamic Revolution is to pave the way for the reappearance of the Twelfth Imam.
After his U.N. speech in September, Ahmadinejad was caught on videotape telling a cleric that during the speech an aura, a halo, appeared around his head right on the podium of the General Assembly. "I felt the atmosphere suddenly change. And for those 27 or 28 minutes, the leaders of the world did not blink. . . . It seemed as if a hand was holding them there, and it opened their eyes to receive the message from the Islamic Republic."Jesus Christ! The guy is positively insane.
It's only a matter of time until Israel unloads on him. They have no choice. Ahmadinejad says the Jews should be exterminated.
But he means himself.
