Iran hails world financial crisis as 'end of capitalism'

[enslaved1]

Iranian leaders say the world financial crisis indicates the end of capitalism, the failure of liberal democracy and divine punishment -- marking the superiority of the Islamic republic's political model.

"The school of Marxism has collapsed and the sound of the West's cracking liberal democracy is now being heard," supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday, recalling the fate of the Soviet Union.

Hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is backed by Khamenei, said on Tuesday that "it is the end of capitalism."

Several Iranian newspapers, regardless of their reformist or conservative leanings, have also blamed the global economic crisis on excessive liberalism.

And some officials, such as the head of Iran's electoral watchdog body, have come up with less conventional theories and branded the turmoil as "divine punishment."

Emphasis added to the one point they got right in the tirade. Have at it.

Now, can someone remind me just who these leaders of Iran are supporting for the Presidency? Oh, that's right, the Obaahmessiah.

I can't argue with that....but "the end of capitalism"? I don't think so.

I think the crisis is due to the mixing in of socialism. DUH :rolleyes:

If we don't clean house in Washington, it will be. Not the cause, per say, but an excuse.
