There’s a
news that Chavez has notched up an $11 billion trade with Iran. Is this alarming, or merely dull? It often gets overlooked that Iran is the number 1 producer of pistachio nuts, growing
more pistachios than the rest of the world combined. No doubt this accounts for most of the $11 billion. I don’t recommend that you start a nuclear program; but if you like pistachio nuts then, by all means, eat some pistachio nuts. This is my message to the Venezuelan people.
Venezuela should take a leaf out of my book: when I fancy a pistachio, I just go right ahead and eat one. If Bush doesn’t like it, he can fuck off.
A pistachio tree yesterday. The Rafsanjani family made their tin from pistachios, so anyone who says that money doesn’t grow on trees doesn’t know what he's talking about, and will be left behind, in the dustbin of history.
