America Now a Bully, Like Bush

"'I do not think the Americans would do such a crazy thing as carry out military attacks against Iran,' Iranian President Mohammad Khatami told state radio during a visit to Uganda.

'We believe the possibility of America attacking Iran is very low, as it is involved in other places,' he said. 'The Iraqi problem is too complicated and so it does not seem they would think about attacking another country.'"

I've always despised bullies, of whatever cowardly stripe, but I never thought America would be one. Imagine another country saying about the United States of America the kind of thing that used to be said about the USSR and Nazi Germany. A sad day, a sadder inauguration. And to think that some folks are actually proud of this world-scale incompetent. Even worse, some are saying this begins the Bush Dynasty. So much for the much-touted 'wisdom' of democracy.

Sad story
