Iran and Nicaragua vow close ties

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has pledged closer ties with Nicaragua as he continues his Latin America tour.

"We have common interests, common enemies and common goals", he said as he visited shantytowns in Managua with the Nicaraguan leader, Daniel Ortega.

Hundreds of people turned out, waving flags of Mr Ortega's Sandinista party and holding photographs of the Iranian president.

"The imperialists don't like us to help you progress and develop. They don't like us to get rid of poverty and unite people," said Mr Ahmadinejad.

1. Oh, joy...that's comforting.

Our enemies are lining up, big time.

2. They wouldn't be

our enemies if we weren't always trying to destroy them and meddle in their affairs. I would be making alliances too if I knew I was next on Bush's hit list.

3. The only enemy here is Bush who poses the greatest threat to the world

since the Third Reich.

4. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Bush has threatened and cajoled just about every country in the world. A madman like him must be stopped at all costs before he starts raining tactical nukes on any country that displeases him.

I am glad to see the world form alliances to challenge Bush's imperial designs on the world.

The two countries announced that they were restoring full diplomatic relations and re-opening embassies in their capitals.

Eat shit Bush!
