Ticket to Heaven

That crazy Turkmenbashi, he's at it again:

"Anyone who reads [my book] the Rukhnama three times will find spiritual wealth, will become more intelligent, will recognise the divine being and will go straight to heaven," [Turkmenistan President Saparmurat] Niyazov said Monday.

The Turkmen leader said he had "called on Allah" while working on the two-volume book to ensure that enthusiastic readers would be given quicker access to heaven.

Let's see... 1) A desert country with few natural resources; 2) Full of Soviets-cum-Muslims; 3) Led by a complete loon.

Nope. Can't think of a single reason not to turn it into a glass parking lot. Sorry, Saparmurat; I really tried, but nothing comes to mind. Nothing personal you understand... Just cleaning the muck out of the shallow end of the pool.

One Peacemaker coming right up.
