Iran's President

It seems Iran's president wants secular professors out their universities. I wonder what the secular-progessives in the rest of the world think of that. But in a theocracy this is business-as-usual. The Soviet Union (yes, you can define Communism as a religion in a anthropological sense) of the past did this and China is doing this right now. Theocratic governments do not allow any other religion to function. Other religions have to function underground. It's interesting that Ahmadinejad does not want Christians or Jews out their universities--maybe their next or maybe their isn't any Christians or Jews their now. Who knows.

Then Iran's leader is a holocaust denier and wants Israel removed. And the press thinks what Mel Gibson said during a drunken tirade was bad! At least he does not want to destroy Israel. This is not much of a surprise. During World War II the Islamic extremists had sympathy with Nazis. They both had something in common: They both hated the Jewish people. This is why Islamofacist is synonymous with Nazism.

I read the interview between Mike Wallace and Ahmadinejad on 60 minutes. I have to say the interview was lame. Maybe it was because Mike Wallace was in Iran during the interview and was nervous about asking tough questions. Or maybe Mike Wallace was just intimidated by Iran's president. I don't know. It probably would have been better if the interview was done in a neutral or at least less hostile setting. I doubt Iran's president would have done it in a different setting. Asking him what he thinks of President Bush is a pretty stupid question. I don't care what he thinks of President Bush. Why not ask Iran's president what he thinks of people who are not Muslim? And asking him what he does for leisure is a pretty softball question. Again who cares other than maybe the citizens of Iran and people who like Ahmadinejad. I guess you have to have softball questions once in a while. One question that was not asked was: "Were you a member of the group that held the American embassy hostage in the 1970's?" I wonder what questions Bill O'Reilly would have asked Ahmadinejad.
