    It is worth reading up on Larijani a bit. He is an absolute freak. Or in other words, he will get along well with Kim Jong-Il and his family.

    Hey even the bad guys need to have friends. This trip is just about as newsworthy as it would be for CNN to report on Boehner going to the UK for a weekend.
