Ayatollah Invokes Godwin's Law
Iran’s Ayatollah Invokes Godwin’s Law – Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei has declared ” ’Arrogance has drawn the bullying West into disgrace,’ the official IRNA news agency quoted Khamenei as saying, ’and the president of a country which claims to support human rights and freedom speaks the same language to the people of the world as Hitler used.’ ”
Bush = Hitler. Thus, the Ayatollah has invoked Godwin’s Law, and this discussion is therefore over (ignorance of the law is no excuse): ”As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress.”
