From House Action on Charging Ahmadinejad with Genocide Postponed: H.Con.Res.21, cosponsored by 103 members of the House of Representatives, which calls on the UN Security Council to charge Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with violating the 1948 Genocide Convention, was not voted upon after the Chair announced on June 18 that further proceedings on the motion would be postponed. The House Foreign Affairs Committee agreed on May 23 to have this legislation considered by the full House of Representatives. Why has progress towards the ethical silencing of a murderous madman been postponed?

From Al-Qaeda “Planning Big British Attack”: Al-Qaeda leaders in Iraq are planning the first “large-scale” terrorist attacks on Britain and other Western targets with the help of supporters in Iran, according to a leaked intelligence report. Spy chiefs warn that one operative had said he was planning an attack on “a par with Hiroshima and Nagasaki” in an attempt to “shake the Roman throne,” a reference to the West. There is no evidence of a formal relationship between al-Qaeda, a Sunni group, and the Shi’ite regime of President Ahmadinejad, but experts suggest that Iran’s leaders may be turning a blind

From Iran Nuclear Chief: Some Enrichment Centrifuges Blew Up: The Chief of Iran’s atomic agency, Gholam-Reza Aqazadeh, on Tuesday confirmed press reports that some of the centrifuges at its nuclear enrichment plant blew up during the enrichment process, with damage ranging from 10 to 20%. He also said, “The uranium enrichment plant in Natanz has been constructed for establishing a factory for 50,000 centrifuges, but it would take between two to four years for install all these centrifuges.” The IAEA confirmed the installation of around 1,000 centrifuges in six cascades with 164 centrifuges each, although it was unclear whether all

From The Middle East Arsonist: Ahmadinejad continues to play the role of Middle East arsonist. He has started fires in Lebanon using Hizbullah, in Gaza and the West Bank using Hamas, and in Iraq using Shiite militias. The international crisis he created in taking the 15 Brits hostage is yet another fire started, only to be put out by him after it achieved sufficient burn to further damage Western prestige. He will continue such arsonist policies until either the Middle East is consumed by fire or he is. See also Iran’s Evil Game: Arming Iraqi Shiites and Sunnis

Everybody loves a parade, a circus, and hate speech especially when it the hate speech is directed towards Jews and Americans. From Arab Street Warms to Showman Ahmadinejad: Abdullah Alshayji, a professor of international relations at Kuwait University, says the Iranian leader strikes a balance that resonates in the Arab world: candid and outspoken in his criticism of the West and Israel, while appearing as a humble man of the people. “What we see is Iran gaining the hearts and minds by standing up to the major powers, so it is likely the masses in the Arab street, or maybe

As mayor, he ordered the police to arrest any couples seen holding hands in the streets. One retired diplomat who served in Iran describes Ahmadinejad as nothing more than an “over-promoted municipal politician.” All candidates standing in Iran’s presidential contest must be vetted by the Council of Guardians, a powerful committee of hardline clerics. The Council barred reformers from standing in the 2005 presidential contest, giving Ahmadinejad an easy run. Ahmadinejad knows little about the outside world

From The Implications of a Nuclear Iran: Iranian President Ahmadinejad belongs to a school of thought which believes that the return of the Shiite messiah – the Mahdi – is supposed to happen very soon. Ahmadinejad believes he has a divine role in making this arrival concrete in our lifetime, maybe even within a few years. Iran’s aspiration is to build a Shiite- or Iran-dominated belt from Afghanistan to the Mediterranean. Iran is meddling in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Lebanon. In addition, Iran has its eye on the oil wealth of the Persian Gulf, and the Gulf states are scared. Tehran

Should the US authorize a visa to the deranged Muslim Ahmadinejad, then I will be convinced that the Muslim lobby in the United States is more powerful and therefore more dangerous than any enemy that has come before this country in the entire history of the United States. If that should happen, perhaps with luck, the madman’s plane will crash into the Mediteranean on his way over. One can only hope. From Reuters:
