My one criticism of this story is that they did not include any Farsi words except "mameh" which means breast apparently. Is there a tie in with "mammary" in English?

The Boogeyman Snatched the Breast
As always I'm interested in how language relates to international relations. This story discusses the crude language used by Iran's Ahmadinejad in his speeches. Really gutter stuff apparently, which has ofcourse long hbeen his appeal. He is the first leader of the Islamic Republic to talk in informal Persian rather than formalized language.
