Interestingly enough, I had dinner after work with some clients and business partners at Atlanta's "Persepolis" restaurant last night. I was the only Caucasian at the table, but fortunately, the rest of the guys spoke, for the most part, in English.
After munching on appetizers of pita, mint leaves, radishes, onions, and feta cheese, everyone in our party opted for the beef Soltani entrees, as well as the non-alcoholic Dugh, a very refreshing yogurt-based drink. This was about the best Persian food that I've ever had, and the service was outstanding. There was even a belly dancer going from table to table, but interestingly enough, the background music was Egyptian, rather than Persian.
With the cultural report now complete, let's refocus on the issue of Iranian politics. It seems that Herr Ammadboutjihad is taking a nod from the
Deutsch Richter that wants to try former US Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, with this recent statement;
"You are considered as accomplices in the crimes committed in Iraq and the bloodshed under the cover of financial and military support." - Mahamood Ahmandinejad
This presents some interesting questions:
Q. I wonder if he means that the US and Britain are
also sending weapons to that lunatic cleric Muqtada al-Sadr?
Q. So Iran has nothing but benevolent intent for the region, or more specifically, Iraq?
Q. Iran is not sending weapons and fighters across the border to destabilize the situation?
Q. Iran, quite simply, would never launch a first strike (nuclear) against Israel?
Q. Iran has the American people's best interests at heart?
Q. Iran is not still stirring the pot in Lebanon, via its proxy, Hezbollah?
Many more questions could be asked, but it is the height of idiocy for Iran's president to fantasize that any US or British leaders will be brought before a Nuremberg-like war crimes tribunal.
