I’ve spent a substantial fruitless amount of time trying to understand why Ahmadinejad says things that he says, up until now! Recently, he said:

“In Iran we don’t have homosexuals like in your country (USA). […] In Iran we do not have this phenomenon. I don’t know who’s told you that we have this.” [Yahoo][NY Times][CNN]
Many thought he said that to gloss over the fact that homosexuals are executed in Iran. Many are wrong. I know why he says things like that. Read these quotes from him before I make my argument:
• We thank God that our enemies are idiots. (6 February 2006) [Source]
• The world is rapidly getting ‘Ahmadinejadized,’ if I’m allowed to make a joke. (20 November 2006 (Source(s): [Source 1], [Source 2])
• I went to a couple of real state agencies in my neighborhood and checked. Home prices have not risen at all where I live(About 6 months ago when home prices nearly doubled in Tehran.).
And, of course, my favorite:
• “I’ve been informed of a 16 year old Iranian girl who has created nuclear energy in her home with the tools she bought off the market.” I talked to her teacher. She is now a nuclear scientist. (Link to Video on youtube)
Why do you think that happens?
I have been convinced there is only one possible way to explain it. It’s called the “Parallel Universe Theory of Ahmadinejad“. The guy lives in a totally different world. I know it’s hard to believe but this seems to be the only sound explanation and scientific method says when there is only one possible explanation to a phenomena then there is only one possible explanation.
When you imagine him living in a parallel universe, his words start making sense. He says there are no homosexuals in Iran because in the parallel-Iran there are no homosexuals. Members of his cabinet and all the people around him( what a pity Wikiquote has no page on those guys) live in the same universe. Anyway, the parallel universe that he lives in has the following attributes:
1. has no homosexuals.
2. no inflation or price increase either.
3. no homosexuals “parallel” U.S.A
4. Homosexuality is a taboo in “parallel” Earth.
5. Homosexuals are not people.
How do they switch universes is unknown. Well, if there were more quantum physicists.
[Background: As I am writing this the Iranian government news is on and it's quoting Fox news to say Ahmadinejad's Speech in Columbia university was an absolute success. I am convinced that I ,too, am living in a parallel universe. Strange one too. ]

That wormhole idea reminded me of the movie “Being John Malkovich”
It’s funny how Fox news which exists in it’s own universe, are quoted by Iranian national TV, which exists in yet another universe, commenting on someone who lives in his own universe! thanks to the marvels of modern technology, inter-universal transportation has never been faster.
