Ahmadinejad the blogger returns...

Ahmadinejad2

He's back!

The only blogger about whom one can say with "high confidence" that he is not about to blow up the world has returned to the keyboard.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad explains, entirely convincingly, that the fact that he hasn't posted since March does not mean that he hasn't kept his promise to spend 15 minutes a week on his blog:

As a matter of fact, I have spent more than the allocated time on the blog. The ‎magnitude of the reception and acclamation from the viewers was beyond ‎expectations.

So I had to decide how to spend the limited time that I have allocated ‎for the blog; should I write new notes or respect those viewers who kindly and ‎generously have shared their thoughts and opinions with me and sent messages and read ‎their numerous received messages. ‎

‎Slightly missing the point, I feel, of the new medium that he has embraced, the President decide it was more important to reply personally to those commenting on the site than it was to post on the blog.

So he declares proudly:

I personally have read those messages that are considered to be short.

He continues:

I am apologetic to those who have been waiting for my new posts.

Your apology, dear President, is accepted.

Well here's something nice and short for His August Emminence, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran:

"Here. Hold this. It's called uranium. Now, which of your 16 fingers are you going to use to press the button?"

Ahmadinejad doesn't need to do anything to endanger the world. The whackjob Bush will beat him to it.

I like the Iranian President, sound like the kind of bloke one could have a dinner and a good chat with him.
Unlike Bush, whose language I would have to try to fathom, Yo Bush?

Yeah I agree Akram, Ahmadinejad sounds like a top bloke! I'd like to ask him about '..when in March police and plain clothes agents charged a peaceful assembly of women’s rights activists in Tehran and beat hundreds of women and men who had gathered to commemorate International Women’s Day. In June as women’s rights defenders assembled again in Tehran, security forces beat them with batons, sprayed them with pepper gas, marked the demonstrators with sprayed dye, and took 70 people into custody.' What a guy!
