At least this time. Iran, a bastion of seething anti--semitism and Shia Armageddon theology, a country which has held Holocaust-denial conferences either missed the chance or decided to cool the Jew-hating for a bit.
First Ahmadinejad claims the revolts in Arab countries are a result of the Islamic revolution in 1979. Now, after careful consideration and quiet deliberations, it is clear: the Americans did it.
Aha! I knew it....wait, what?

The West is to blame for regional unrest, Ahmadinejad says
Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed the West for unrest bubbling throughout the Middle East and North Africa in a speech Monday on Iran's National Army Day.
"They are trying to foment discord in the region. They are trying to cause destruction and provoke wars between nations and governments in order to sell their weapons," Ahmadinejad said in a speech translated into English by state-run Press TV. "They are seeking destruction and a reinforcement of their evil dominance in the region."
The Iranian president's accusations come as NATO planes are enforcing a U.N.-approved no-fly zone over Libya and also are launching airstrikes on Libyan government troops as opposition forces battle them.
Ahmadinejad also warned of what he said are Western efforts to trigger sectarian strife between Shia and Sunni Muslims, while calling for cooperation between nations in the region.
The Shia and Sunni don't need us to help them hate each other. Over 1,000 years of hatred between them guarantees we are not the cause of their strife.
