Lung Cancer Is The New American Foreign Policy

Iran has condemned the next U.S. president John McCain for joking about killing Iranians with cigarettes and said it showed his "warmongering" foreign policy attitude which they are totally against.

McCain, who once sang in jest about bombing Iran, reacted to a report of rising U.S. cigarette exports to the Islamic Republic by saying it may be "a way of killing 'em."

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said: "McCain's crude remark on the indiscriminate killing of the Iranian nation not only testifies to his disturbed state of mind, but also to his warmongering approach to foreign policy."

"We condemn such jokes and believe them to be inappropriate for the next U.S. president .

It is most evident that jokes about genocide will not be tolerated by Iranians or Americans.

If he really wanted to be humourous he could have said, 'What is the difference between a Jew and a pizza? a pizza does not scream when you put it into the oven' that is most funny no."

McCain said to reporters after his remark. "I meant that as a joke, as a person who hasn't had a cigarette in 28 years, 29 years," he added, laughing.

Then he started his routine

"You could be Persian if:

If you speak 5 different languages, yet you cannot properly communicate with any of them!

If you are a high school drop out, yet you have an opinion on every subject known in science, politics, philosophy and general information.

If you have a wife, a mistress, a secretary, a maid, a sidekick date, a ...

If you claim you were a General in the Shah's military in Iran, yet now driving a taxi cab in New York!"

His comments coincide with rising tension between Iran and its arch-foes, the United States and Israel, over the Islamic Republic's disputed nuclear program and their recent show of military might .

Mc Cain has already vowed to fight the war in Iraq even if it takes 100 years to win and is ingesting stem cells in order to last that long.
