[Marxism] Ahmadinejad finds it warmer in Latin America

[Walter Lippmann]

Despite the demonizing of the Iranian president, both practical and
strategic political reasons have opened many doors for him in Latin
America. The mixture of Islamophobia and Iranophobia which has now
virtually possessed the editorial office and the political leaders
of the United States, is amazing. If the threatened military strike
against Iran weren't so real, especially in light of Israel's strike'
against Syria a few weeks ago one might look at this differently.

I don't get the impression that the Iranian president has much in
the way of a sense of humor, unfortunately. He or his advisors at
home could learn a few things from his co-religionist Malcolm X,
who understood just how disarming it could be. 

As I read this story today, and was wondering that Ahmadinijad must
have thought at being introduced in this "we know you are beating
your wife" manner. And then it came to me. I began to hear the
words of that song from the fifties by Screamin'n Jay Hawkins:
"I put a spell on you."
