Last week, upstart Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmandinejad sat right down and, ostensibly, wrote George Bush a letter, in which he lectured him on the evils of “freedom and democracy,” while pontificating about his own nation’s right to have nuclear energy but only for peaceful purposes.
How gullible does he think the rest of the world is? Is the unaware soul actually deluded into thinking people everywhere can’t see that he was using the letter as a transparent pretense to grandstand for his own treacherous and impossible agenda?
It is misguided calculation at this level that has brought the world to one of the most serious confrontations afoot in it.
We used to think that nothing is more dangerous than ignorance in power. Now we must give primacy to insolent idiocy.
