Stranger than fiction

|
From Fars News Agency, Turkey's government sponsored "independent" news organization (via IMRA):

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad strongly criticized London for its brutal suppression of protesters, specially in recent days, and called on the British authorities to correct their attitude towards people's demands.

"I advise them (British authorities) to correct their brutal behavior since such a brutal attitude is totally unacceptable," President Ahmadinejad told reporters at the end of a cabinet meeting here in Tehran on Wednesday.

Britain's politicians should give the people the freedom and chance to participate in their society's affairs, the Iranian president went on saying, and added that Britain should deal with the problems of its own people instead of launching military attacks on other states like Afghanistan and Libya.
This is not a joke.  Nor is it a case of the pot calling the kettle black.  Compare (also here) and contrast.
