Iranian Einsteins

I would have thought that after years of watching what passes for commentary or analysis from the Middle East that I would have lost the ability to roll my eyes, but this report by Ynet News got the eyes rolling again:
A spokesperson for the association of Iranian student unions said on Tuesday that Israel is exploiting the World Cup soccer games in Germany to continue its aggression against the Palestinians. "It is forbidden to allow Israel to continue its attacks in the occupied territory while exploiting for evil the World Cup games," said Mohsen Maksoudi.

If this is the quality of university students in Iran, I think it is a safe bet that not one of these Einstein’s will be developing a cure for cancer or a vaccine to fight the Aids virus in the near or distant future.
