Germany's Oskar Lafontaine to straighten things up in Iran

When it comes to establishing peace on earth, it is a generally excepted fact that no one can be better qualified here than a German. And when it comes to self-sacrifice, consensus and team spirit, what peace-loving German could possibly be better qualified to represent his country here than Oskar Lafontaine? That is why “little Oskar”, as some of his three or four remaining buddies like to call him (no, he’s not the one in The Tin Drum) will be heading down to Teheran soon on a fact-finding-fun-lovin-finger-lickin-peace-making mission. At least that’s what everyone in the free world is hoping, he thinks.

He apparently had a vision the other night while dosing off from boredom at one of those tedious Linke-WASG-PDS-whatever-they’re-called-this-week (the way left Party) rallies and suddenly realized that he could save the world. Again, I mean.

He now hopes to have a word with Dingsda (what’s his name) with the beard down there in Iran and peace negotiate the pants off him, figuratively speaking. And he’s just the guy to do it, too. Few personalities in modern German politics have such a proven track record when it comes to cleverness in politics.

He will obviously be “explaining” to him that as far as he is concerned, the mullahs can have all the atomic weapons they want just as long as they also come out openly and, gulp, say that they want peace, too. And keep hating the USA, of course. He knows that this will be tough, but is nonetheless confident that these are demands Teheran will eventually have to knuckle under to.

A timetable for his visit has not been set yet, but it certainly won’t be before this Thursday when his Linksfaktion (Left Faction) will be presenting a resolution in the Bundestag against the military action in Iran which hasn’t taken place yet and most likely won’t.

Come visit me at Observing Hermann...
