While I agree with Matt's excellent point in this post that the ideology of radical Islamism will resist modernity for a very long time, there is more good news from the How-Dumb-Are-They Department. Iran has formally issued a booklet at the U.N. accusing Canada of human-rights violations. When I saw the headline in the Winnipeg Free Press I thought it must have been a complaint about the handful of Canadian troops assisting us in various sensitive places like Afghanistan. But no, incredibly it's actually a little 70-page book ("in the name of God," no less!) claiming that there's concern in the international community about Canada's treatment of its own citizens. In Canada.
Really, Li'l Squinty? I mean it reads like an Onion headline! Who can't possibly laugh out loud at "Iran attacks Canada's human rights record" ???
From the schoolyard to Presidential politics to international relations, the weakest of all possible positions is to be an object of ridicule. This is very good news for those opposed to Iran's tyrranical regime.
