Little Hitler Is Coming! Little Hitler Is Coming!

Tags: President Ahmadinejad, American Retardation

President Ahmadinejad is coming to the United States, which gives us the opportunity to see how much Americans just want to be scared. For the past few months, conservatives have been using the media to label Ahmadinejad as the new Hitler. Unfortunately, the evil cartoon character they are creating is actually a man and his visit to the US could undermine the neo-con propaganda machine. But it probably won't.

The neo-cons would very much like us to believe that Iran is Mordor and Ahmadinejad is Sauron. That way the White Houses impending attack on Iran will be justified. Some neo-cons are actually claiming we have been at war with Iran since 1979, which is weird because Reagan gave Iran weapons in the '80s and then used the money from the sales to fund the Contras. That would make Reagan a traitor. Weird logic conservatives, but do what youve got to do.

Now Columbia University has come under attack for inviting Ahmadinejad to speak.

"There is no excuse to invite this madman, this little Hitler," said New York assemblyman Dov Hikind. "This is immoral. This is outrageous. This is sick."

Oh, fuck yes. Is there a better way to show we are a free society than by stopping someone from speaking? Speaking WORDS. Oh, the horror. Ahmadinejad might say something like, Israel should be wiped off the map." Because that is exactly what he said at an anti-Zionism conference in Tehran last October! Neo-cons screamed that Ahmadinejad was calling for genocide of Jews. If the President of Iran says such things, we cannot let them get their hands on nukes!

R. Nicholas Burns, the under secretary of state for political affairs said, "Given the radical nature of Iran under Ahmadinejad and its stated wish to wipe Israel off the map of the world, it is entirely unconvincing that we could or should live with a nuclear Iran."

One big problem with their claims is that Ahmadinejad never actually said those words.

Ahmadinejad did not say he was going to wipe Israel off the map because no such idiom exists in Persian," remarked Juan Cole, a Middle East specialist at the University of Michigan and critic of American policy who has argued that the Iranian president was misquoted. "He did say he hoped its regime, i.e., a Jewish-Zionist state occupying Jerusalem, would collapse."

Huh, isnt that the same kind of thing George Bush and his neo-con pals said about Iraq before the war? That means Bush was calling for the extermination of all Iraqis! My God! Now Bush wants to kill everyone in North Korea and Syria. What a nightmare! And Reagan was calling for the death of all people living in the former Soviet Union! Under this logic we are genocide crazy.

Further proof that Ahmadinejad is a little Hitler who wants to exterminate all Jews can be found in Iran, where 20,000 Jews live and actually have a representative in Parliament. Clearly the man wants them dead.

Ahmadinejad is also a threat because he is a religious lunatic. The man actually believes his role is to pave the way for the coming of the Twelfth Imam. That is some fucked up shit and totally different from Bush, a born again Christian who thinks Jesus is coming back any second and for that to happen, Israel needs to be surrounded by enemies. Which one of those guys has thousands of nuclear weapons at his disposal?

During his visit, Ahmadinejad also wanted to visit ground zero and pay his respects, but we rejected his request. Turns out many New Yorkers and family members of 9/11 victims were upset at the idea of Ahmadinejad going to the location of the terrorist attack he had nothing to do with. Could you imagine how insulting that would be? When 9/11 happened, Iran expressed sympathy with the US and Iranians held spontaneous candlelight vigils. Iran is also an enemy of al-Qaeda and thought the attacks could open a dialogue with the US. What assholes! Take your respects and shove them up your ass!

Ahmadinejad thought he could use his visit to create some sort of understanding between our countries. He apparently didnt comprehend our constant desire for a mythical boogeyman. The US loves a Hitler!

Not that he is the greatest guy in the world. Ahmadinejad is the president of an incredibly oppressive regime that funds Hezbollah and other groups who fight Israel. We in the US would never think of funding rebel armies to destabilize another country. Thats just fucking bullshit. And never mind that shit I wrote about the Contras a couple of paragraphs ago.

What most people dont know is that Ahmadinejad actually has zero power over the Iranian military. Zero. So, he might be the ideal guy to attempt to start a dialogue with. Too bad well never know because hes pure evil. And we are pure goodness.

Look what happens when you actually allow someone to come and speak.

Ahmadinejad smiled as Columbia President Lee Bollinger took him to task over Iran's human-rights record and foreign policy, and Ahmadinejad's statements denying the Holocaust and calling for the disappearance of Israel.

"Mr. President, you exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator," Bollinger said, to loud applause.

He said Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust might fool the illiterate and ignorant.

"When you come to a place like this it makes you simply ridiculous," Bollinger said. "The truth is that the Holocaust is the most documented event in human history."

Ahmadinejad rose, also to applause, and after a religious invocation, said Bollinger's opening was: "an insult to information and the knowledge of the audience here."

"There were insults and claims that were incorrect, regretfully," Ahmadinejad said, accusing Bollinger of offering "unfriendly treatment" under the influence of the U.S. press and politicians.

Awesome. This is really gonna make anyone who opposed this seem stupid. From the same article

You are either brazenly provocative or astonishingly uneducated," Bollinger told Ahmadinejad about the leader's Holocaust denial. "Will you cease this outrage?"

I love it.

You mean other than supporting and funding terrorists, engaging in a particularly sexist, oppresive brand of fundamentalist Islam, and attempting to aquire nuclear weapons, right?

Ahmadinejad maybe the libs should elect him for president since he only has Americas best interest at heart

Gee, what a great idea, I'm sorry I didn't think of that.

I think the point is that the U.S. has had a long history of supporting oppressive, totalitarian governments whenever it has suited our needs. Only when they are opposed to our meddling (and we have other countries best interest at heart???) do we suddenly become the purveyors of freedom and democracy, calling for the heads of their leaders before bombing their country into rubble. We are not a peaceful people (I don't want to overgeneralize here, but history has shown that the warmongers always seem to get their way) and anyone who thinks that our shit doesn't stink has had their head up their ass far too long to know the difference.

Are we a necessary evil? No. And neither is Iran. The rhetoric that has framed the political debate over foreign policy greatly overshadows the real reasons for fighting wars. If you don't know the difference then still have your neck firmly planted between your cheeks.

Regarding the whole nuclear issue... We've set quite a precedent regarding what we consider "rogue states" developing nuclear weapons. Interestingly enough, labeling someone an enemy is probably the best way to spur them into protecting from attack. As we've seen in Iraq (who didn't actually have any WMD's to note) they were allegedly attacked because of a mythical weapons program (but this is really just rhetoric, see above). North Korea? They pushed forward (after being ignored and neglected by the U.S.) and probably have developed a weapon. Suddenly they are no longer a terrorist client state and we're allowing them relief supplies and resources. Iran? They're currently stuck somewhere in the middle. They aren't being clandestine about the fact they have a program (for peaceful purposes they claim), but considering what happened to their closest neighbors, they've got to be thinking defensively. Seeing how North Korea has been "rewarded" with a hands off approach from Washington, the incentive to develop a weapon might be of paramount importance as a deterrence alone. The way I see it, our foreign policy blunders in dealing with the so-called "axis of evil" have set the stage, forcing their hand. In this regard, we've been our own worst enemy. Instead of ignoring Tehran for the last 28 years, we should have been engaging them, improving diplomatic relations and offered them economic trade incentives for positive reforms. An animal cornered and threatened is more likely to act aggressively and possibly attack, how can we expect other countries to behave any different (and no, I'm not implying they are "animals" any more then we are)?

On a final note of hypocricy, the U.S. has all but scrubbed their honoring of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. We've offered India a sweetheart deal to provide enriched uranium for their own existing nuclear program (much to our "ally" Pakistan's chagrin), we've been developing new mini-nukes and have even been threatening their use against countries like Iran. By circumventing our own treaty obligations to the NNPT, we have no basis to be calling Tehran in violation of said treaty...

This is the dirty business our country's leaders engage in. Just remember which direction the shit rolls and when it smacks you in the face, don't just go blaming someone they've been poking sticks at for years for slinging it.

"In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country. We don't have that in our country. In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I don't know who has told you that we have it."
-- Ahmadinejad
