Wonder whose fault he thinks it is.\n\nFact is, he merrily supported an illicit president, who made a bad decision and justified it with spurious'proof' of nonexistent Weapons of Mass Destruction, to meddle in a sovereign state's internal affairs, to go into Iraq and completely destroy a functioning society.\n\nCertainly it was an unpalatable society to many people.  But it is ultimately the right and responsibility of the citizens of a sovereign state to turf out the people whose government they do not want, that is part of the democratic process.\n\nIn any event, the West supports an idiot, and the crooks surrounding him, who has a skewed interpretation of democracy.  Palestinians democratically elected a government The Bush and Blair et al do not like.  In 1953 Iranians democratically elected a government the US did not like, and they deposed him, put the autocratic, corrupt Shah in his place, and are now reaping the results.\n\nFor Blair one can't have a lot of sympathy.  If you play with fire you will get burnt.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad He was elected president on June 24, 2005. He is widely considered to be a religious conservative with Islamist and populist views. Before his appointment as mayor, he was a civil engineer and an assistant professor at the Iran University of Science and Technology.\n\nPolitically, Ahmadinejad is a member of the Central Council of the Islamic Society of Engineers, but he has a more powerful base inside the Alliance of Builders of Islamic Iran (Abadgaran). Ahmadinejad is considered one of the main figures in the alliance.

Mahmoud plagiarized Khomeini's message to the Soviets; that "letter" and it's message is decades old.\n\nI pray  the Iranian people  rid themselves of those Islamic Hitlers before the world is forced to take action.

I think it's important to remember that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has no significant power in creating the country's policies.  \n\nThe President of Iran is democraticaly elected, but can only run for election if approved by a twelve member panel called the Guardian Council.  \nThe members of the Guardian Council are appointed by a Supreme Leader, a religious official.  \nBesides nominating presidential candidates, the Guardian Coucil also approves candidates to the Assembly of Experts.  The Assembly are religious leaders, or mujtahids.  They are responsible for supervising and electing the Supreme Leader.  \n\nThe President of Iran has some power to influence foreign policy, but not on the level of the American president.  His position would be analogous to the US Secretary of State.  He is the representative of Iran's people, their voice to the rest of the world, not the leader of their government.

he hasnt done anything yet, but when someone calls for the total destruction of a whole race, like israelis, then you have to wonder.  He wants a democratic Iran but he still wants to destroy jews.  he doesnt know what he wants, but I know I wouldnt want him as my boss.

"Iran's new president created a sense of outrage in the west yesterday by describing Israel as a "disgraceful blot" that should be "wiped off the face of the earth". Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who is more hardline than his predecessor, told students in Tehran that a new wave of Palestinian attacks would be enough to finish off Israel."\n\n"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday lambasted Israel and Zionism and quoted the late Ayatollah Khomeini calling for Israel to be "wiped out from the map.""\n\n"A day after drawing international condemnation for declaring that "Israel should be wiped off the map," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad joined an estimated several hundred thousand demonstrators in an annual anti-Israel march that made clear his words are a time-honored slogan in Iran."

how can one "illegally" occupy a place that was NEVER a country, state, or nation. AND that NEVER had a language, history, culture, or people called palestinian untill in 1963 egyptian born arafat applied the term to ARABS... and the UN does everthing against the one jewish nation on this planet while it does very little against the 57 muslim ones.
