From Australia's Daily Telegraph, among others:

Iran's hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said overnight that he hoped Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was dead and wished the same for the rest of the Jewish state's leaders, the ISNA student news agency reported.

Well, that makes us even. The free world -- not to mention dissidents in Iran and other dictatorships throughout the Arab world -- is hoping for Mr. Ahmadinejad's death. It appears that Mr. Sharon will beat him, but we can always hope.
