#2 I suspect that his attack on "democracy" is going to be as unnerving to the Mullahs as anything else.

While their idea of democracy is far worse than old-style Chicago machine politics, it is still how *they* came to power--"the people's revolution."

The Pres, however, seems to think of himself more as a Shah. And even the Mullahs might get a little itchy at the thought of a return to power of a self-appointed king.

Hopefully, if they do decide to terminate his contract, they will also exterminate all of his drinking buddies, level his guru's mosque, and fill its well with concrete.

It still won't solve the nuclear problem, however.

#3 And just how long will the Custodian of the Two Mosques tolerate a heathen Shia nutbar prancing around like a Caliph? The Bejewelled Turban of Power™ is destined to be worn only by the true Sunni sons of Mecca and Medina. Allan said so. You could look it up. In Arabic, not Farsi.

#4 Wow, this guy is even more whacked than I originally thought. Let's make a deal with the mullahs: Let us give him a one-way ticket to Allah and you can give him a martyr's funeral. Then elect somebody else and we can get on with hating each other without all this 12th imam nonsense.

#7 The Wall Street Journal has the original memo from Amaddinnerjacket. Look at the font. It is the same typewriter that was used by the Texas Air National Guard to type Bush's efficiency reports. Note that the th's are not superscripted, because that cannot be done without a word processor. Seventh century philosophy from nineteenth century technology.

#8 The grand ayatollahs of Tehran and Qom are seriously concerned by the president's attitude -and not just because the president is attempting to reduce the power of the clergy

That's the way this should read!

Funny how these dictators always follow exactly the same sequence when they rise to power. He's at the I think I'm God phase which means that he'll begin to eliminate in earnest those who helped him rise to power.

#11 The night of the long knives is coming to Tehran but I'm not betting on the Mullahs.

Ahmadi Nejad could, if his men are willing to do it, kill a dozen or so top clerics and the rest of them would kiss his ring.

#12 Don't give the plan away!

#14 They should let ol' Pat Robertson answer the letter.
I'm not even kidding.

#16 With the rest of the country, yes, but with this guy.. BZ gas would not make a visible difference.

#17 The president is in an effort of giving himself an important impression. He presents himself as reincarnation of legendary hero from religious fiction. He dreams of being assigned an enlightened or saint, someone who is protected by divine light for divine missions, a gift to the Islamic world.
And the Dems think Bush has too much faith.

#19 And the Dems think Bush has too much faith.

No. It's that the Dems think Bush has too much of the wrong faith.

#20 I'm with Robert Spencer on this one. The Islamic criticism for Osama after 9/11 was not that he made Islam look bad by killing 3000 people, but that he made Islam look bad because he did not give the victims a chance to convert to Islam first.



By not responding to the letter, all acts of terrorism against the US and Americans around the world are justified since we spurned their gracious offer to convert.



I'd be happy to be wrong...

#22 Adriane - dignifying the letter with a response won't stop a f*&king thing. Spit on it and send it back , asking for a DNA sample so we can identify the "12th monkey" imam
