    You say it "Ah - mah - din - uh - zhaad". His last name used to be "Oh - wa - tana - Siam", but he changed it because it was too difficult to pronounce.

      If you look very carefully, you might find a "sublimative" message in his name:

      AhmandineJAD or..... AhmadineJIAD (holy war)......

      Very good of GBW. You see, he ain't stupid...... (lol)

      The UN is right, he should dismantle his name.....

      lol

            President Ahbemanyjobs has countered with his own withering attack against Bush's monosyllabic movement. He states emphatically that someone just needs to water the small shrub sitting behind the desk in the oval office. He also points out that the Monosyllabic Movement is a complete sham, since both words in the movement's name are polysyllabic.

                                  That is precisely the reason he wears the clothes so that whenever he is not burdened by presidential duties he can earn a couple of extra rials on the side by working in pizza delivery.

                                  Unlike in US, where government officials get fat paychecks in Iran it's hard to survive on presidential income, which is why he moonlights as pizza boy.

                                  I look forward to the future when politicians in US will need to have an honest man's job to afford living in their mansions.

                                        I wholeheartedly support the administration's approach. Ahmadinejad's name will not stand! And no red, white and blue blooded American should stand for it either.

                                        How can the White House engage in name calling on the same level with Iran when their president's name is so much more difficult to pronounce? The time it takes for Bush or anyone for that matter to pronounces Ahmadinejad is sufficient to insult Bush at least 3 or 4 times, which is why Iranian President should dismantle his name. The playing field of insults has to be level.

                                          "The time has come for the Iranian president to make a choice," Mr. Bush warned. "Does he want to continue down this dangerous, polysyllabic path, or does he want to join the community of peace-loving, monosyllabic world leaders?"

                                          this sentence completely destroys the suspension of disbelief.

                                          for a number of reasons
