hard to take seriously :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by clazy (United States), Nov 15, 2006 at 11:01

This photo just confuses the matter; it seems hardly worth posting. The guy on the left looks as old as Ahmadinejad today! No wonder the resemblance is so striking, we don't even have to compensate for time. But he has bags under his eyes, which are themselves kinder--not the hard eyes of Ahmadinejad. The other photo, with the hostage being escorted, is far more suggestive. Stick with that.
