"Foreign Away"

Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad fired his foreign minister, Manouchehr Mattaki, on Monday. The reason may stem from an ideological conflict in that the foreign minister only hated America a little.

The issue may have been one of competence. It has long been suspected that Ahmadinejad never really considered Mattaki to be crazy enough.

For the going away party Ahmadinijad threw for Mattaki, he set up an open bar and ordered plenty of yellow cake.

Mattaki says that he is now looking to the future, and will spend his time hoping not to be killed.
