Strange Bedfellows
Try not to take the bedfellow metaphor too literally: such imagery would be too off-putting to take the rest of this seriously:
In his speech at the opening of the parliament session, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak warned against Iranian interference in Arab affairs. He said that his country would not hesitate to react to attempts to destabilize it or threaten its security, which has an impact on the security of the Gulf, the Red Sea and the Middle East at large.
Meanwhile, across the Arab Peninsula:
At a demonstration in front of the Iranian Foreign Ministry today, Iranian students carried placards offering $4.5 million to anyone who assassinates the “traitors” Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Saudi King Abdallah, and Jordanian King Abdallah.
The students demanded that the Iranian government act immediately against the slaughter of Shi’ites in Yemen by Saudi Arabia, and shouted, “Death to Saudi Arabia,” “Death to America,” and “Death to Israel.”
These crazy mother-[bleeping] Persians. When are they not shouting? The decibel level has rendered them insane.

Just look at what wonders Obambi has wrought: there’s not a single American face or icon on that sign! How long has it been since Iran considered us a paper tiger or toothless old dog?
