Starting With Mahmoud
Gateway is reporting that the tinpot tyrant of Iran is to adopt a culture of martyrdom:
Sure beats that whole "culture of life" thing, huh?
Of course, if Mahmoud is serious about his new economic plan, I would suggest that he do us all a favor and start with himself. After all, it's always best to lead by example, is it not?
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said the country's economic woes can be solved by the "culture of martyrdom, the Mehr news agency reported."Beware the great Comma in the sky!"
"If we want to build the country, maintain our dignity and solve economic problems, we need the culture of martyrdom," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying in a speech on Wednesday in the western city of Hamedan.
He described martyrdom, dying or being killed for one's religious beliefs, as "a quick and shortcut way to reach the summit of salvation."
He did not say how becoming a martyr would help the economy, which is struggling from high inflation.
The president was speaking a day after ousted economy minister Davoud Danesh Jaafari became the latest person to launch a withering attack on him for his unconventional economic policies.
Ahmadinejad has been criticised for pumping excessive liquidity into the economy to fund infrastructure projects, causing huge money supply growth and triggering Iran's current inflation of around 18 percent.
Sure beats that whole "culture of life" thing, huh?
Of course, if Mahmoud is serious about his new economic plan, I would suggest that he do us all a favor and start with himself. After all, it's always best to lead by example, is it not?
