Iran handing a victory to the U.S.?
You know, for a nation bent on World domination and the enslavement of all under Sharia Law, Iran sure didn’t use Saddam’s execution to rail against the evil Infidels and their war on Islam.
From Xinhua:
“With regard to Saddam’s execution, it amounts to a victory of the Iraqi people as they were the winners of his fall,” Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hamid Reza Asefi was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying.
“Saddam’s regime was overthrown because the Iraqi people did not support him. It is crystal clear that the United States should not misinterpret his fall and take the credit to itself,” he said. Asefi also lashed out at the former Iraqi president for launching consecutive wars on Iran and Kuwait in the 1980s and early 1990s, saying his conducts had weakened the Arab and Islamic fronts.
Well, that’s not much in the way of using it to their advantage. It actually seems they were willing to hand the U.S. victory because of their natural hatred of Saddam and Sunnis. It was almost as if Iran gained something from Saddam’s death, as well. Foreigners, they sure are interesting.
Do they have anyone on staff in the U.S. government that examines cultural things like this? Like a sociologist maybe? Something like that? They really should look at getting someone like that. Because I don’t think they do right now.

Does the US government have any people who know enough Arabic and Farsi to figure out what’s going on over there?
No big deal, though. If you speak English to them furriners loud enough they’ll understand.
