TEHRAN, Iran --- World leaders were outraged today after determining that President Bush caused a massive earthquake in Iran, killing hundreds. The usual suspects joined together in denouncing the attack as illegal, unsanctioned by the UN, and all about oil.
"We will not stand for Bush and his aggressions against Arab countries," said a French spokesman. "It is no coincidence that this earthquake happened when Bush is pounding the war drums over Iran and flying secret unmanned missions. He produces global warming here and on Mars, and now he causes earthquakes that devastate his enemies. Will this man stop at nothing?"
Leaders from most of Europe and all of the Middle East accused the president of creating genocide. Democrats in the US were even suspicious of the president's involvement. "We suspect he's been experimenting with tornadoes and those big hurricanes right here at home," said one Democrat leader. "I'm outraged that he would use earthquakes to attack Iran without even getting congressional approval. "
"We will not stand for Bush and his aggressions against Arab countries," said a French spokesman."
Ah. I appreciate your attempt at humour, but I think European leaders know that Iran is not an Arab country. Too bad, not to mention mind boggling, that after all that has transpired over the last century in the Middle East that there are still Americans who haven't twigged to that fact.
Have you not ever heard of the Persians? Persians are not Arabs. Arabs are not Persians. Arabs speak Arabic. Persians speak Farsi. Persians produced a great civilization two and a half millenia ago. Arabs were still wondering about in the sands of the Arabian peninsula and Europeans were still peasants living in huts and your country still belonged to the Indians.

Nice try but the power of Bush's prayers are limited to doing good in this world, and he needs to focus on the liberal character of Jesus to truly unite instead of making his usual divisions. I guess he has united the whole world against us though.

Oops. Louise was soooo busy being senstive to the Persians that she forgot that Indians live in southern Asia and Native Americans used to "own" North America.
That and I think we'd all agree the Persians peaked too soon. Tough break Persians.
