People Suck

Specifically, scary fundamentalist assholes in power.

To the surprise of many, the above link does not actually reference GWB at all. It's about the crazy motherfucker running Iran.

I seriously wonder what people like this are thinking - is getting yourself, your country, and thousands (or millions) of your citizens turned into a big glass parking lot because you think your imaginary friend is right the short route to divine reward?

[the writer in me, however, sees plot ideas for a dystopian future in things like "The enemy is afraid," says Mohammadresa Jafari, "that the culture of martyrdom will become a world culture of all those who love freedom."]

"The enemy is afraid," says Mohammadresa Jafari, "that the culture of martyrdom will become a world culture of all those who love freedom."

So. Then. We all have to die for "freedom"? Freedom of what? Freedom to die for ones cause? I ask because there is no "freedom", it would seem, without stripping someone *else* of the rights they perceive they should be entitled to. We seem hell bent on *not* peacefully co-existing. I just hope that, when it comes my time to "die for my cause" (read: get killed by some zealot while going about my daily life and minding my own business), I am at ground zero and vaporized before I know what hit me.

this nutbar uses, i think, "freedom" to mean "from western tyranny/influence" and in a lesser sense, "free from the fear of being blown up by one of these insane fuckers."

Color me unsurprised. The hypcorisy where it concerns "religious freedom" both here and in the middle east is appalling.

One nice, thing, though.....

We haven't had a monolithic ENEMY for ages - not since Sting suggested that the Russians might love their children, too. Now we have a whole country of fuckwits, who voted in the current freakshow leaders, who want us and Israel dead. If we can dehumanize them just a little more then we can drop 'em in the same bucket as the Nazis and carpet bomb the motherfuckers to our heart's content. Right?
