Farsi Farce?

We find humor where we can. Mark Steyn, The Corner:

Michael, I wouldn't worry so much about President Obama's video message to Teheran. It almost certainly won't work in Iranian VCRs.

Alternatively, if the State Department's Russian outreach is anything to go by, the attempt to sign off with "Have a nice day!" in Farsi will inevitably turn out to mean "I ran into Ayatollah Khamenei and his catamite in the leather bar".

Try to have a nice day.

P.S. Unfazed, Iran continues to develop nuclear weapons and support terrorism. In case you missed it, Rupert Murdoch, I am not Jewish but...:

In Europe, men and woman who bear the tattoos of concentration camps today look out on a continent where Jewish lives and Jewish property are under attack - and public debate is poisoned by an anti-Semitism we thought had been dispatched to history's dustbin.

In Iran, we see a regime that backs Hizbullah and Hamas now on course to acquire a nuclear weapon.

In India, we see Islamic terrorists single out the Mumbai Jewish Center in a well-planned and well-coordinated attack that looks like it could be a test run for similar attacks in similar cities around the world.

MOST FUNDAMENTALLY, we see a growing assault on both the legitimacy and security of the State of Israel.[snip]

IN THE WEST, we are used to thinking that Israel cannot survive without the help of Europe and the United States. Tonight I say to you: Maybe we should start wondering whether we in Europe and the United States can survive if we allow the terrorists to succeed in Israel.
