As far as Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is concerned, all he knows about Great Brittan is what he sees in James Bond movies. “The evil British government,” he says, is responsible for organizing the unrest plaguing Iran in the aftermath of rigged elections securing a second presidential term for incumbent and certifiable loon Mahmoud Ahamdinejad.
Iran’s foreign minister claimed, “Great Britain has plotted against the presidential election for more than two years. We witnessed an influx of people before the election. Elements linked to the British secret service were flying in in droves.”
It conjures up a comical mental picture: agents of her Majesty’s Secret Service, driving around Iran in weapons-modified Aston Martins, drinking dry martinis, bedding the local burqa-clad females and disrupting the well-made plans of Iran’s villainous mullahs.
Brittan’s David Miliband, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, denied Iran’s amusing charges with a seriousness they did not deserve. “I reject categorically the idea that the protesters in Iran are manipulated or motivated by foreign countries. The UK is categorical that it is for the Iranian people to choose their government, and for the Iranian authorities to ensure the fairness of the result and the protection of their own people. I therefore deplore the continuing violence against those seeking to exercise their right of expression. This can only damage Iran’s standing in the eyes of the world. The blame being heaped on foreigners is no excuse.”
President Barrack Huesine Obama says the United States should negotiate with these mullahs without preconditions. How about considering one condition placed on Iran before we begin our diplomatic overtures – a display of sanity from their cartoon-character ruling clerics.
