NP Rank:
Ahmadinejad jan, don't fool yourself... You know you're a liar!


While surfing on the blog of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (not updated since december 2007), I found this article in which the previous -and current?- President of the Islamic Republic of Iran was denouncing the way US Government behaves towards foreigners, pointing at the impact of the US government's decisions on the American people itself.
Some sentences did strike me; not because of their non-sense -because they truly make sense- but because they have merely been written (and thought?!) by a man who just ignored any of these lessons he's pretending to teach to the US government, during his four year of « OPRESSsidency ».
Let us have a look at some parts of this letter:
« Part of the increasing hatred toward the U.S. government that we witness across the world, is due to the U.S. statesmen disdainful and oppressive position and behavior. The Iranian people as other nations of the world, believe that U.S. statesmen –although they do not truly represent the votes of the American people- but their performance as the representatives of the Americans, isruining the cultural and humane image of the big nation of America. »
Was Ahmadinejad actually portraying the way he himself behaves with his own People? If so then he should have told it straight away; why making things so implicit when they clearly appear to be clear... A journalist from Euronews, said this morning « Fraud is the national sport of the Mollahs »: I therefore have a question, does Mahmoud Ahmadinejad « represent the votes of the IRANIAN people »? I doubt. And many are the ones -within and outside the country- who have been sharing my thoughts for 4 days now. 4 long and bloody days.
What about the « cultural and humane image » of Iran then? Doesn't Ahmadinejad consider books, movies, music as cultural products? Once again, I doubt. Maybe someone should tell him that they are integral part of the « cultural image » of a country, thus he might stop constantly ban art works. Maybe he merely doesn't know...
« Creating a destructive defaced image of the Americans reputation and respectability in the world public mind, and also being insulted and suppressed by U.S. administration concerning different matters such as wiretapping, crack down on the critics and opponents of the U.S. government, racial and ethnic discrimination and strict censorship, has now turned the American people into one of the most suppressed nations of the world. So the American people are today among the main victims of the tyrannical behavior of their own rulers."
Is it truly necessary to comment this paragraph -and especially the last sentence- when we now know that Ahmadinejad is the main reason of the mistrust -as well as clichés- that "occidental" Peoples have towards Iran, and principally towards the Iranian People... -which (unlike what people tend to think outside Iran) has been in state of "divorce" with its government since the last elections of 2005. And we just realize it...
But maybe Ahmadinejad did not have, 3 years ago (when the letter has been written), the ambition to become the "dictator" he today is! Well... then we can admit that he has truly been progressing -and « burning the steps » as we say in French- to be now this nationally, and internationally, dangerous political (and social) figure. Congrats.
To conclude I will simply use Ahmadinejad's own conclusion (why replacing « the U.S » by « the Islamic Republic of Iran » though):
"I am certain that before long, all the barricades would facture and shatter and the doors would be opened on the suppressed people of the Islamic Republic of Iranand these gentry would touch the events of the world directly – without any interference and mediator. »
But for this to happen, Ahmadinejad jan, you should let the medias and informations be free. Yes, it also includes newspaper. Are are, Internet too. Khodafez.

It's amazing to me really how he was re-elected this weekend, especially now reading some letters from his past. Well, if he was 're-elected' that is, which I also have a hard time believing. Thanks for this opinion piece, very interesting.

Yes, this is called "projection". One of the most difficult psychological defenses to overcome.
You can't admit to any degree of the sin yourself, and yet you can spot that it in someone else around the world.
In middle age, projections of the good sort and the bad sort start to get withdrawn.
This makes it harder at times for older people to communicate with the young, who are still fully possessed, in quite a few cases, by some degree of this incapacity to look in the mirror.
If the older person fails to do this, then instead of being a wise old man or women, enter "Bart" of the Simpsons. :)
