Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: another fine standup performance

You have to read it, but even then it would be hard to believe:
Iran's president warned on Wednesday that the wave of protests sweeping the Middle East will spread to Europe and North America.
And this is just for warm up, here is the main sketch:
Speaking on state TV Wednesday, the president also condemned Libya's use of force against demonstrators and urged Libyan leaders to give in to the demands of their people.
The AP journalist who has written this article has taken it so seriously that he just had to respond:
The calls for solidarity with protesters across the Arab world came in stark contrast to its own actions to crush dissent at home. Two people were killed and dozens arrested in Iran last Monday when thousands of opposition supporters in Tehran and other cities took to the streets in defiance of a heavy security presence to back uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia that toppled their leaders.
So what should we expect next from Mahmoud the Mad? Will he join the Third International now?
