Blogadinejad

The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has entered the blogosphere. This is interesting since bloggers have been imprisoned in that country and other instances of the suppression of free speech abound. Everyone should check out this website, the posts are a waste of time, I find the comments a thousand times more enlightening. Here is but a taste...

Nick (US) says, "youre one of the most stupid president ever ! Im sure about half of the comments posted of this blog are totally fake and used as propaganda."
Han (PRC) says, "you are very brave that you can fight against to USA ,I support you forever"
Phantom Justice (US) says, "your site is very nteresting and entertaining. We are watching for the sign. The future awaits..."
Jack (US) says, "I hope someone puts a bullet in your head very soon."

First of all, I know it's a pseudonym, but Phantom Justice?!?!? That is SWEET! Anyway I think this is pretty interesting, I don't really know what it means. War of ideas? Sorry for the preponderance of US comments...they were the craziest, one way or the other. Meanwhile, I found this graffiti in Jerusalem does anyone else think it's by banksy?

What a weird concept! His latest entry definitely took more than fifteen minutes, I think he's getting a little over zealous with the blogging. We should write a comment on his blog...

Dear Mahmoud,
Would you contribute to our class dialogue on Jerusalem?

On another note, aren't all those programs for American Jewish students visiting Israel really, on some level, trying to get them to move there... it's all about demographics
