The Zen of Ahmadinejad

He's more than a man of peace. He's a Zen Master.

Every human being should live in the moment, he says.

In fact, once his term ends and he's back to being a private citizen, I wouldn't be surprised to see a line of self-help books and maybe some yoga how-to videos coming from the wily toweller.

I'm watching that British guy interview Ahmadinejad on CNN.

Have to say he makes at least as much sense as anybody running for the oval office in 2012.

Also have to say Piers' is lobbing softballs, for the most part.

He gets Ahmadinejad to say we cannot impose our will on the Palestinians. Well, that is a wonderful sentiment, but by the same token we cannot impose our will on the Israelis either.

Piers keeps interrupting just as Ahmadinejad is going places with his answers. Wants to reduce the interview to the Holocaust and homosexuals.

And the utterly crucial matter of whether or not a single woman can go skiing in Iran.

Frankly, I don't think Ahmadinejad's views on homosexuality and women's rights are that far from Romney's.

Generally speaking, the man seems a cut above the caliber of politicians we are accustomed to here in the Nations of Virtue.
