[SOCCER] Iran and a Ban? Oh, Man.
Just in time for the New Year and with the World Cup only months away, German officials are closely considering banning Iran from the famed soccer championship. This comes shortly after Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made comments, somewhere along the line of, "Israel(and most likely its Jews) should be wiped off the map," "Israel should be moved into Europe," and "the Holocaust never happened." [more]Hmm, he doesn't come off as the most intelligent man, does he? Especially with the World Cup being held in a country who was globally shamed for killing nearly 6 million Jews during that supposed Holocaust.
But, Mr. Ahmandinejad has bigger problems to worry about, like accusations of taking American diplomats hostage and the execution style murders of three men. Even more surprisingly, he is the same man who once said, "My mission is creating a role model of a modern, advanced, powerful and Islamic society" for Iran.
What an angry little man.
Ahh, I can see it now; "Iran: The Global Model for Intolerance, Terrorism, and Crimes Against Humanity. "
Will somebody please get to printing out bumper stickers and tourism T- shirts?!?
