Ayatollah Mohammad Bagher Kharrazi said the creation of what he calls an Islamic United States is a central aim of the political party he leads called Hezbollah, or Party of God, and that he hoped to make it a reality if they win the next presidential election.

I think he'd be an excellent president of Iran.

Oh yes- let's instill a left wing Christian black man as a president of an Islamic, conservative Persian nation- that'll go down a treat!

Taking this silliness (and that's all this is, pure silliness) full circle (see post #3), a radical left-wing black man as president of Iran might yield - and one can only speculate - an upsurge in Iranian golfers?? Frankly, such "change" might not be a bad thing. Question is, could they play at Augusta?

Glad to see you believe in the adage that a meme is a terrible thing to waste.
