What kind of enemy is this?

Well, I'm getting sick of hearing about 1.) Usama bn Ladn; and 2.) the Comrade.

Anyone else notice that the most successful policies of the current regime are those that the Comrade carried over from George W?

So, bn Ladn is dead. That doesn't make socialized medicine any more acceptable, doesn't do a thing about the price of gasoline or coffee. The Comrade has made an even bigger mess in America than bn Ladn did. Let's not forget about that. That hasn't changed.

Putting all that aside for the moment, I just read an article in the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper that's really a laugh and wanted to share it to brighten your day.

Iran's Abracadabrajab apparently has seen some successful challenges to his leadership recently. Not sure exactly what these are -- just a few people in the Iranian government who have apparently opposed him and won their little battles.

So Abracadabrajab is having them arrested and charged with "sorcery." Yup. sorcery. As in "black magic."  He says these guys must have some connections with the devil or evil entities from the spirit world.

Do you suppose Abaracadabrajab would be happy also to arrest the U.S. CIA and Navy Seals on the same charges?

Good grief. Is this what we're up against?

Do you supposed the "trials" for these people will include dunking stools? Or maybe the defendants will be buried under rocks to see if they can continue breathing, thus proving that they're "in league with the devil."

Here's the thing -- you can't reason with people like Abracadabrajab. He's engaged in this game called "Crusaders vs. the Saracens." Nothing has changed or evolved since like about 1150 A.D. Of course, he probably doesn't recognize anything like "A.D." either.

And the Comrade hopes to open some kind of dialog with this person?

I think what the Middle East -- or Arab culture or whatever -- what it really needs is the Renaissance, which  skipped right over them, apparently. Then another couple hundred years and they might reach Enlightenment.

Enough for now. I'm very tired.

Save the Republic.
