That international sporting powerhouse otherwise known as Iran is threatening to boycott the London 2012 Olympics. And the world trembles. Except for British Prime Minister David Cameron.
The BBC has the report:
Last week, Iran threatened to stay away over claims the 2012 logo was racist as it resembled the word “Zion”, a biblical term for Israel.
The prime minister told London-based paper Jewish News: “It’s completely paranoid. If the Iranians don’t want to come, don’t come – we won’t miss you.
“It would be a crazy reason for not coming,” he said.
Crazy? C’mon, Prime Minister Cameron. Crazy is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s middle name.
In the 2008 Olympics, Iran one won gold in Mens 80 kg Taekwondo and tied for a bronze in Men’s 60 kg wrestling. That’s it. 73,000,000 people and they won one gold and tied for a bronze medal.
Save yourself the airfare, Mahmoud. And the embarrassment.
