Poll question: On that Ahmadinejad guy...A poll
Ok, since he is in the news today, a poll about Ahmadinejad.


DISCLAIMER: I do NOT want war with Iran, I don't want the whole country to be turned into glass which we then make shot glasses with and hand out in country bars, I don't love him, I don't want to have a sex change and have his baby, I don't want the army to hunt him and down and shoot him, I don't want his oil, I don't care what the RW says about him - I can form my own opinion, I don't hate the Iranian people, I am not a troll who wants to beat the war drums, He is not chavez or castro - his name does not even start with a C like theirs does.

Feel free to add your own disclaimer.

2. He is just as batshit insane as Bush.
That does not mean we should go to war with Iran.

Dunno about that. He shares a lot with Bush, yes.
Methods and motivations, certainly. They're both playing the same game of trying to exploit the other for political benefit. Looking at the clips from his Columbia speech today, I don't think Maddie believes as much of his own rhetoric as Bush does. There were a couple points when his body language seemed to indicate he knew he was lying, but he went on anyway.

3. I was torn...pot or love all the people...
then I realized, they were both basically the same...

I do not believe that war ever solved anything. War is a racket. It is fuel for empires to expand their territory. The people who are governed always become the fodder.

Both Shrub and Ahmadinejad are despots who speak out their ass. Shrub is stupid personified, while Ahmadinejad seems like he has a brain, albeit tucked tightly up his ass.

Peace.

8. Who cares what he is, he has NO power, he has no 'trigger'
to put his finger on. He is the 'enemy of the state' distraction for the right wing to promote their agenda. Succinctly, he is a red herring, imo.
