Iran delcares Ahmadinejad 'Socrates of third millenium'?

www.middle-east-online.com

A research centre run by the office of the president of Iran has released a 15-page document in which they define President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the "Socrates of the Third Millenium".

The document has been released just days before Ahmadinejad is due to visit New York. The Iranian president will arrive in the city on Sunday to address the United Nations General Assembly.

Wow, and you think our government spews propoganda. I don't recall reading about Socrates calling for the elimination of an entire country. This is laughable, and the study was released by his own office.

Oh, the irony... It's BECAUSE your government spews so much propaganda, THAT you believe Iran called for the 'elimination of an entire country'.

They don't make bedsheets small enough to make a toga for that guy. Looks like a little chimp if you ask me.

I think you might have upset Mirthful Me with that comparison.

Well said!

Sacrates questioned the selfish authority of others. (Read Plato's Apology) I'd say that this is a decent parrallel, IMHO. However, my opinion is backed by the knowledge of both sides of the story, together with the obvious fair truth. So I can understand if you disagree.
