Confusing

Many of supporters have asked us to weigh in on the controversy surrounding the incident in which Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, President of Iran, consoled the mother of the late Hugo Chavez (former President of Venezuela) by hugging her.  At the GNU Public Dictatorship, however, we are nothing if not respectful of others' religious beliefs, which is why we will refrain from taking sides in the issue.  If the (non-photoshopped) photo can be believed, it would appear that Mr. Ahmadinejad has, according to the strictest interpretations of his religion, had inappropriate contact with a female.  The GPD chooses not to choose sides on such issues as we are more focused on uniting humanity against the threats that are constantly on the verge of destroying us, and not on the interpretations of religious texts.  While we certainly respect the rights of those outraged by the incident to demand more of their leader, we also respect the rights of Mr. Ahmadinejad to act as he sees fit.  Our lawyers asked us to conclude this confusing post by making a confusing statement about separation of church and dictatorship, but we decided that it was confusing enough already, so we just decided to end it where it was.  Or, more literally, to tack on a rambling explanation of why we didn't add a tacked-on rambling explanation.  We hope that makes it a bit more clear!
