#1 I'm confused. Does this mean they like Merkel?

#2 All this should make for an interesting World Cup in Germany in June. I hope they get spanked in the first round, although I hear a lot of young anti-regime types love soccer so a successful team might give a boost to anti-Mullah demonstrations. But then again, a disaster could be blamed on Ahmadinejad and the fundamentalists for being anti-soccer, anti-western sticks in the mud. They will pine for the days of '98 when they were moving toward reform and freedom and beat the U.S. in France.

#3 They really have to hire some better slogan writers. Or does Farsi simply not translate well?

#4 Merkel = Hitler
You can almost visualize Der FÜHRER shouting these statements from the podium.

"It is important to heighten the society's awareness of the meaning of anti-Semitism, which means the hatred of mankind"
Angela Merkel 2005

"Regardless of all faith in the freedom of the press, I can understand that religious feelings, especially of Muslims, have been hurt"
Angela Merkel 2006
