Ah, Iran. It's "peaceful" nuclear program is coming to fruition with the instalment of 328 centrifuges, with an expected total of 3,000 to be installed by June.I'm sure that the ambitious nuclear project is keeping Iran busy, as evidenced by the economical strain on the populace. While Ahmadinejad pursues nuclear capability, the folks in Iran must suffer, with over 40% living beneath the poverty line. Some estimates are as high as 90%.
Oh, and the poverty line in Iran starts at $640 per month, according to their government, so most folks have to work two or three full-time jobs just to see that. (The poverty line for a family of four in America is $1,667 per month, just to put that in perspective.)
Despite this situation, Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is set to announce "giant achievements," concerning not only Iran's "nuclear rights," but also an herbal cure for AIDS!!!
The drug is called "IMOD," and is "completely safe with no proven side effects," according to Iran's Minister of Health Kamran Bagheri Lankarani.Thank goodness that we have Iran looking out for us, huh? I mean, being an Islamic government, you'd think that they wouldn't even care to look for a cure for a primarily sexually transmitted disease, but once again, Iran shows us their good nature and propensity to human rights. I mean, sure they'll hang a teenage girl from a crane for having the gall to be raped, but they do care about AIDS patients.
"The world should know today that the capable Iranian nation, relying on its own youths and scientists, has now conquered the peaks of knowledge and science," Ahmadinejad declared during his speech.
I know it's hard, but try not to tear up...
