That man does get about!

Malaysian premier Abdullah Badawi and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
The Malaysian prime minister wants more action to resolve the crisis

Pete's Points

I like seeing pictures of the Iranian President and sundry others in the news. It is interesting to note that in recent times the Iranian government has managed to deflect attention from it's nuclear enrichment program, get it's proxies in the Middle East to stir up some serious problems between a country that it is committed to wipe off the face of the planet and begin to involve a number of other countries whose relationships with others is, to say the least, considerably fractious!

[Incidentally the story aligned with this picture is about Malaysia considering sending 1000 heavily armed and armoured troops to Lebanon (as part of a UN deployment) as and when there is a cease fire.]

Last seen with the president of Venezuela here he is smiling and spreading his obvious brand of good cheer to our, next door but one neighbour, Malaysia.

It's a worry.

If anyone wants to have a look at what this man is doing on a virtually daily basis all you have to do is to visit his propaganda arm at http://www.president.ir/eng/

Have a really close listen to what he has to say, think about it, look at who he talks to seriously and with whom he is having dealings about arms and oil and then consider your own views about whether what he says and does constitutes a worry or not for the rest of us.

An interesting place to start is to read what he actually said in Malaysia
