Ahmadinejad interviewed by Diane Sawyer (ABC news video)

"In your efforts to reduce government, aim for zero. If you ever get there and don't like what you see, I guarantee that it will be the easiest thing in the world to pick up the nearest telephone and have another one established on the very next day." Robert LeFevre (1970) quoted by Billy Beck
"Blaming the current financial crisis on the failure of markets is like blaming an airplane crash on the failure of gravity." Kyle Bennett
"Be you. Be kind. Give a shit. Mean it." Kawehi
"Wars are seldom caused by spontaneous hatreds between peoples, for peoples in general are too ignorant of one another to have grievances and too indifferent to what goes on beyond their borders to plan conquests.

"The almost erotic pleasure of spending money that others have earned and saved is one reason people put up with the tiresome aspects of political life." - George Will

"We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." H.L. Mencken.

"Asking liberals where wages and prices come from is like asking six-year-olds where babies come from." Thomas Sowell
"People shouldn't be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people." V for Vendetta (Movie)
"That stone buddha deserves all the birdshit it gets. I wave my skinny arms like a tall flower in the wind." Ikkyu
"I left Earth three times. I found no place else to go. Please take care of Spaceship Earth." Walter Schirra
"I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion; I’ve watched C-Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain. Time to die." Roy Batty - Blade Runner
"All social engineering is preceded by verbal engineering." Rita Marker
"Neither one person, nor any number of persons, is warranted in saying to another human creature of ripe years that he shall not do with his life for his own benefit what he chooses to do with it. All errors he is likely to commit against advice and warning are far outweighed by the evil of allowing others to constrain him to do what they deem his good." John Stuart Mill
"Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place." from The Law - Frédéric Bastiat

"Tradition holds that even the most senior officer will salute a Victoria Cross recipient as a mark of the utmost respect for their act of valour." - Angus Houston
"Though my heart may be left of center, I have always known that the only economic system that works is a market economy. This is the only natural economy, the only kind that makes sense, the only one that leads to prosperity, because it is the only one that reflects the nature of life itself. The essence of life is infinitely and mysteriously multiform, and therefore it cannot be contained or planned for, in its fullness and variability, by any central intelligence."--Vaclav Havel

President Ahmadinejad's real views are summarized on this website: ahmadinejadquotes.blogspot.com
Although I prefer posters to use unique nicks rather than the generic "anonymous" I really appreciate the reference. Thanks.
Why is Iran in the sights of Bush and Co. Bush needs to be the perpetual war president. If he goes out of power there will be arrests and prosecutions.
I linked to this post from my blog, The Stark Raving Viking.
There has been something wrong in the US too long. There is a White Elite that owns most everything and their powerbase has been under threat for a while based on birthrates and "illegal" immigration.
The throwing as many poorer whites and minorities as possible in prison was a overused short term solution. Felons can't vote, may never have steady work, and have extreme difficulty in getting housing in their names.
The US final solution to the "minority" problem might be Martial Law and George W. Bush not facing election in 2008.
Try looking up the name "Steven G. Erickson" in a word search engine.
The Police in the US have a "Secret Enemies List". If you are a mouthy minority or a white that connects the dots, you are arrested and usually end up in prison.
I had a small business built up over 2 decades and was current on 3 rental property mortgages. I was a target of the police for what I wrote in newspapers.
Non-Whites that owned pizza restaurants or convenience stores in "White Only" areas were also targets.
The world should know.
New Orleans was a testing ground for what can be done. White police, mostly State Police from around the country were called in that had sniper experience. The National Guard has too many minorities. The Death Squads killed the Blacks in New Orleans and allegedly put them in refrigerated tractor trailers to be flown over the ocean by Chinook Helicopters to be dropped out in the open ocean.
The BBC had reported on new "Crowd Control" weapons developed by Israel and the US. Those could kill contained crowds using microwaves. The mostly minorities could be loaded in containers, loaded on container ships and the ship could be sunk at sea in deep water to hide the evidence.
Maybe George W. Bush's Final Solution.
Then there is world domination.
