#1 The Javanese are a superstitious bunch. Volcanos erupting are a seriously omen. Maybe they will decide inviting Ahmadinejad has angered the Gods.

BTW a later report says they have gone to the highest level of alert and an eruption seems imminent.

#2 Somebody in the CIA should be planting that story in the Indo media. But instead they're planting stories in the American media. Which side are they on?

#3 I have this fantasy that Merapi is a VEI6 and devastates large areas of Java, just while Ahmadinejad is making one of his dumb speeches. Javanese control of Indonesia collapses and the Balinese rise up. D8 leaders try to flee and get caught by Balinese mobs and they make an example of Ahmadinejad by hanging him from a lamppost. The rest they let go.

Sadly, my guess is that the mullahs will tell them that it's punishment for not being Islamic enough.

That's a rhetorical question, right?
