The claim by the Iranian president -Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - that the attack on the World Trade centre in New York was actually carried out by the United States government - ignores one pertinent fact.
Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda cohorts have been crowing about the success of their terrorist attack - and freely admitting their involvement.
Ahmadijnejad joins a long list of other " nutters " who try to rewrite history to fit events into their own distorted views. This same president also claims that the Holocaust didn't happen - and that the story was invented by the Jews to create sympathy.
Unfortunately, this man is president of an unstable country that is trying to develop nuclear weapons - and he has clearly stated that if they had such weapons neighbouring Israel would be their first target.
Fortunately, there are signs that the ordinary people of Iran are tiring of the theocracy running the country - and there is every chance that this discontent will eventually lead to another revolution. The fact that " religious police " beat women in the street for the offence of wearing lipstick or nail polish - or showing a wisp of hair from under their head covering is reminiscent of the rule of the Taliban.
The more the president preaches nonsense - the faster this discontent moves towards open rebellion !
