The Associated Press recently reported that $158 million worth of cigarettes have been exported to Iran in the past eight years of George W. Bush’s presidency.
On July 8th, 2008, when John McCain was asked about the AP report of defiance against the restrictions – set forth by the US itself - on exporting goods to Iran he responded, ”Maybe that’s a way of killing them.”
McCain later claimed that this was the first time he’s heard about this report and that he would “look into it”.
Comforting to know how well-informed the “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran” singer and wannabe-president really is. At least he’s closer to pronouncing Iran better. He did say “ee-ran” rather than “eye-ran“.
We’re not uber-political. But we are Iranian. And we love Iran and its people.
Most would agree that Governments around the world have issues with and tendencies of corruption. But to deliberately combine the system and the people of a nation, can only be the tragic mistake of the uneducated or misinformed. No?
In the current media-infused world, where statements are set-in-stone and spread expeditiously once they’re made, why would a presidential candidate say such things unless he’s trying to send a message?
His impressionable followers are sure to absorb his words, repeat them, and ultimately act on them on some tier.
By making such remarks, McCain confirmed that he too shares the utterly moronic and barbarically savage outlook on the future of his predecessor: G. W. Bush.
Hypocrisy comes in many shades, but this intense lack of thought and blatant disregard for humanity makes one wonder about the of level potency in sanctimonious behavior tainting the red, white, and blue tones.

‘M ZAKI’-
You’re quick to blame everything on Americans, so why are you on the Internet and with your Apple computer? Why do you use our products? Why do you bask in our freedoms here, yet we cannot go to your Islamic nation and live as free?
America gives billions to Israel but it also gives billions to Islamic nations. I wish we could cut the aid to BOTH.
As a person of Muslim background myself, I’m so sick of folks like you who blame your backward, undeveloped, cryptic societies on America and the West.
This is something our wonderful new president Barack Hussein Obama has stated already during his inauguration:
“To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society’s ills on the West — know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.”
