President Ahmadinejad has pronounced on the collapse of global capitalism, and announced that Iranians should stand ready to manage the world.

Somehow, I don't think China's going to be interested in giving up that job...

Well, yeah, sure it had been used in the "old days" a lot (though I didn't know that bit about Voltaire, very interesting). I just meant it's popping up more and more often at the moment... :-(

Honestly, this article makes me laugh. Just imagining Ahmadinejad celebrating in the streets with all his gay friends about the downfall of free markets.
