First, Iranian
Our first advice: Hang Ahmadinejad. Or shoot him. Whichever.
Iran’s President says “2 or 3 hangings” could end market woes
Tehran, Oct. 30 – Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told the latest cabinet meeting in the Iranian capital that “if we were permitted to hang two or three persons, the problems with the stock exchange would be solved for ever”, according to a Tehran-based newspaper.
Ahmadinejad was addressing a cabinet meeting held to discuss the rapidly deteriorating situation at the Tehran Stock Exchange, the daily Ruznet reported on Sunday.
Ministers and experts disagreed with all the different views and proposals raised at the meeting, which came to an end without any concrete results. Tempers flew high and participants shouted at each other during the discussion, according to the daily. Frustrated with the inability of his economic advisers and experts to come up with any solution, Ahmadinejad told them that the only way out of the current stock exchange and financial market problems was to “frighten” speculators by hanging two or three of them.
These Muslim whackos are addressing the "rapidly deteriorating situation" on the Iranian stock market.
Perhaps if they stop using mules, the stock market there can move up 10 points in one day. Now that is advancement for Muslims.
