Ahmadinejad: Europe Controlled By Jewish Puppetteers

And not the benevolent Syd and Marty Krofft sort:

Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rounded on the West on Saturday, accusing European countries of being Israeli puppets for publishing newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.

Satirical cartoons of the Prophet carried in the European press have sparked anger across the Islamic world, firing several violent protests. Many Muslims believe any depiction of the Prophet is sacrilegious.

"They say that their countries are free but they are lying. They are held hostage by Zionists and the Americans and Europeans should pay for that," Ahmadinejad told a crowd on the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Europeans have defended the publication of the cartoons by insisting on the right to freedom of speech.

"How come insults are free in your country but any research on the Holocaust is a crime?" he added.

"Research on the Holocaust." Indeed.

I seem to remember a messianic figure from about 60 years ago who thought Europe was controlled by Jews. He caused some problems, if I'm remembering correctly.

But he didn't put a lot of resources into getting a nuke. His toltalitarian descendant won't be making the same mistakes as his father.
