By Micah Halpern
Tuesday January 10, 2012 I've Been Thinking: Ahmadinejad is on a four nation South American trip. First stop - Venezuela. Chavez and Ahmadinejad had a colorful and humorous meeting and then press conference. The butt of their jokes was the Western World. "The imperialist spokesmen say ... Ahmadinejad and I are going into the Miraflores basement now to set our sights on Washington and launch cannons and missiles ... It's laughable." The two laughed and hugged. Ahmadinejad is there to shore up support. He knows that sanctions are going to heighten and that he will need Chavez and his support. Part of what binds these men together is their resentment towards the West. Iran and Venezuela must create a scenario in which they are unfairly victimized by the United States. That, in turn, will set the stage for the conspiracy and the persecution themes that run through their presentations. This is how they gain and maintain support internally and how they build alliances. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
