How to Get Justice for Ahmadinejad
2007-01-13
By Michael Rosen

The situation in Iran seems to be rapidly spiraling out of control. On top of everything that's taken place there since President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ascended to power in 2005, consider the following events from just the past month:

* Ahmadinejad hosted a conference dedicated to denying the Holocaust that attracted the likes of David Duke and Robert Faurisson but barred a prominent Israeli Arab scholar who dissented from their orthodoxy.

* The Tehran tyrant's top aide claimed that Hitler himself was Jewish and that his ambivalent feelings about his Judaism informed his "treatment" of the Jews (but there was no Holocaust, of course).

* Israeli military sources apparently leaked a plan to the Times of London that, if diplomacy fails, the IDF is prepared to drop tactical nuclear (bunker-busting) bombs on Iranian nuclear facilities in Natanz and Bushehr.

* Ahmadinejad is planning a victory tour through the Latin American countries whose leaders, including the newly elected Hugo "Smell of Sulfur" Chavez, have "defied" the United States.

So what is to be done?

Indeed. And a man with a UN might as well jump off a bridge.

#2  Normally they do this sort of thing after the corpses have been stacked.

Not that they actually do it, except for the lower rungs of the ladder of horror. The big cheeses just get put on Carla's calendar while they live out their days in Gay Paree.

#1  Who's going to bell the cat? Even supposing such a trial were allowed to go forward, who is going to arrest President Ahmadenijad and bring him to the dock? Is Mr. Rosen advocating an Eichmann-style kidnapping? If so, again by whom?

A man with a hammer sees every problem as a nail, 'tis said, and here's the proof.
