Sometimes the mullahs really outdo themselves. They have a great natural flair for slapstick (if only we had a secretary of state who wanted to poke fun at the Iranian regime, she could have her own prime time show), but this latest is a classic. Remember the scene in the movie “Hook” where Captain Hook holds a flintlock pistol to hs head and says to the loyal Smee “don’t try to stop me, Smee”? And Smee just stands there. So Hook says, “don’t you dare try to stop me, Smee.” And Smee just stands there. And then Hook erupts, “Smee! STOP ME!!”
Here’s the ayatollish version of that scene, from al-Reuters:
…an Iranian official told Iranian firms on Monday to suspend commercial links with international companies which might have ‘Zionist’ shareholders… Monday’s order suggested the government was going beyond the usual scope of Israeli companies and focusing on other international firms with Israel-linked investors, but did not name any particular firm.
This is tantamount to a total end of all commerce with the whole world. Because the number of companies with ZERO Jewish shareholders is most probably ZERO.

1. Anton:One could only wish that they make good on that threat.
While their at it, maybe they could get somebody to do an up-close, on-site demonstration of a bomb-belt for Pres.I’mAnotherWhackNut at the next meeting between him and the ayatollahs.
Jan 7, 2009 - 11:37 am 2. John Peterson:How come we can’t get our allies (like Germany) to stop trading with the Iranians?
Jan 7, 2009 - 11:53 am 3. Azadandish - Tehran:As from many years ago ( long before revolution in Iran) mullahs used to call Pepsi and Coca Cola the two big “Zionist” companies who allocate a percentage of the sale of each bottle to Israel. Many of grand ayatollahs had forbidden their followers to drink Pepsi and/or Coke. They are still considered to support Isarel and being owned by “Zionists”.
Jan 8, 2009 - 3:36 am 4. Winston:As you certainly know both brands are franchised in Iran and their annual sale per capita is among the largest in the world. Why don’t tyhey sack the companies from Iran? The reason is so clear. They are both owned by Mojtaba Khamenei, the elder son the “God’s representative on the globe”!
P.S. Do you know what the mullahs and their followers call God? ” The representative of Ayatollah Khamenei in the Heavens ( sky )”.
I hope they committ suicide
Jan 8, 2009 - 1:24 pm 5. Jassem Othman - From the Middle East:The Moslems should NOT forget that amazing technology throughout the earth we have it only thanks to Jewish mind and to Crusader.
Moslems have medicine, have aircrafts, have cars, have mobiles and computers even we have Oil only thanks to western mind especially “American”. At the same time these fools scorn them and calling to murder them in the name of Allah. Alas!
God bless the United States of America and bless you all

Jan 8, 2009 - 8:50 pm 7. BJD:I’ll bet the mullahs love matzah ball soup, corned beef and pastrami on rye w/mustard. Now I’m hungry.
I’m sure there are some companies with no Jewish shareholders that are safe for Iranian investments–Amalgamated IED, LLC and Bombvests R Us come to mind …
