ironic: happening in the opposite way to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this.
I think it's ironic that W., the actual biggest threat to word peace, would call anyone else a threat to world peace, and that he doesn't realize that the world is currently quite a distance from what could reasonably be called "peace"The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.Comment

Ugh...A joke you have to explain and all that...The joke in my original post requires that you imagine that W. is making the Iran statement with ironic intent, implying that he realizes that he's the bigger warmonger and/or that he recognizes that there is no "world peace". These things are beyond him both intellectually and with respect to self-awareness.
As to the definition of ironic, you can take it up with the Oxford English Dictionary, I give up on your humorless arse.
And please, don't ever call me "a dillusional", I can't find that in the dictionary.The undeserving maintain power by promoting hysteria.Comment
