AXIS OF EVIL GAINING IN CONFIDENCE.

What? What!, It's a cultural thing, OK?






Iranian President Ahmadinejad and His unidentified "friend."

Victor Davis Hanson has a differenct take from the Neocon on the Iranian President. While the Neocon believes that Ahmadinejad is flat-out crazy, Victor Davis Hanson says he's crazy like a fox. That there is a method to his madness that should not be dismissed. Upon reading his column today in the Chicago Tribune, The Neocon bows to Davis Hanson's superior analysis

Quote of the Day:
"He (Ahmadinejad) has studied the recent Western postmodern mind, nursed on its holy trinity of multiculturalism, moral equivalence and relativism. As a third-world populist, Ahmadinejad expects that his own fascism will escape scrutiny if he just recites enough the past sins of the West. He also understands victimology. So he also knows that to destroy the Israelis, he--not they--must become the victim, and the Europeans the ones who forced his hand. Ahmadinejad also grasps that there are millions of highly educated but cynical Westerners who see nothing much exceptional about their own culture. So if democratic America has nuclear weapons, why not theocratic Iran? Moreover, he knows how Western relativism works. So who is to say what are "facts" or what is "true"--given the tendency of the powerful to "construct" their own narratives and call the result "history." Was not the Holocaust exaggerated, or perhaps even fabricated, as mere jails became "death camps" through a trick of language to take over Palestinian land?"

We laugh at all this as absurd. We should not.
