The Iranian President has been banned from visiting Ground Zero. He’s a crazy man, but he had nothing to do with 9-11. So why is he banned, other than that Bush & Co. would love to provoke some incident to excuse an invasion of Iran? If one follows Bush’s logic, it is the Saudis who should be banned. But that non-democracy is a “friend” — a friend whose citizens flew the planes.

The mercenary company Blackwater — referred to as a “private security firm” in the media — continues to violate Iraqi laws and kill innocent citizens with impunity. No wonder they don’t want us there.
