Leadership is best demonstrated by example not words.
I agree...the entire population becoming active participants would help their economy. They can all get together and have a martyrdom rave party and go out in a big bang.
The question of the hour:
How can America help????
Hard to argue with that. Suicide makes all of your problems go away: permanently.
LOL!! Not sure if this is just an odd translation or the subtleties of what he was saying didn’t translate well. I’m guessing he meant that in order to fix their problems the Iranians would have to be willing to tighten their belts in a form of self sacrifice. I do like the other way of reading it though, I’d love for him to martyr himself, the sooner the better.
How many gallons of Kool-Aid will they need for this martyrdom exercise? I am sure we could gather a collection to fund it....
self-extermination of the enemy in a target rich environment ... sound like a plan
Can we start with you Momudd Ahmadingbat?
Interest rates? I though it was un-islamic to charge interest????
>>>Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said the country’s economic woes can be solved by the “culture of martyrdom, the Mehr news agency reported.<<<
I think the State Department forgot to forward this lexicon memo.

New State Department lexicon forbids use of the words “jihad” or “jihadist”
This statement by Ahmadinejad must surely reinvigorate Columbia University's pride in having invited him to speak there. After all, what university would not acquire enhanced prestige and academic standing by associating itself with a head-of-state who advocates, in the name of economic advantage, that his fellow citizens murder in horrible ways both themselves and those who do not share their religious views?
Just show us where to start bombing.
Hard to argue logic like that, you first Ahmacrazyraghed.

Since he’s talking to fanatical small minded savages, his words are sure to cause a few dozen mentally unstable barbarians to kill Christians and Jews in their mad quest for “martyrdom”.
This guy is a scary lunatic.
*sigh*
If only Ahmanutjob and his mullah puppetmasters would lead by example.
Hard to mis-translate “martyrdom “-—mideast news outlets mention that daily. Apparently this method of population reduction/economic development is not as uncommon as one might guess and, at least in the mideast, shouldn’t be considered “unconventional”. Am I the only one who remembers Saddam explaining, well before 2003, that he thought Iraq could function quite efficiently with only 5 million people-—meaning that he didn’t mind losing by whatever method, the other 20 million. He had already lost half his army by pushing his luck and then started on the Kurds to make his point. Regular Iranian folks are going to take a beating before it all gets better for them. The bright side for us might be that Ammanutjob can reach his goals without our help.
What an idiot....
The nut job needs to lead by example.
Ahmadmanutjihad said what?
