Ahmadinejad seems to believe that he can take on the Western powers, led by the United States, in a limited conflict, and defeat them thus becoming a national hero and a pan-Islamic knight riding the steed of history in triumph. That is a juvenile illusion that could wreck Ahmadinejad’s presidency before it finds its cruising speed.

Exactly what is happening - Iran's fall is coming (from within or sooner from outside because of Ahmadinejad's illusions)

York many in the UN saw Iran as a poor developing nation being bullied by big powers on spurious grounds.

Only the UN could be filled with so many stupid people. That or a Democrat Party Convention. Close running between the two.

The Iranians have the most delusional government on the face of this earth. Even their closest competitor, North Korea, at least have a major, steadfast ally right on their border to back up their crackpot ways.

Good post. One can only wonder if he is right on as usual in which case, the end game might be in progress, e.g. downfall for the Iranian Islamic Revolution. As more moderates and mass es of newer generation students and others who have lived through the Islamic yoke of the past thirty years, can bear things no longer, who knows, perhaps the SAVAK's bullets and ropes will no longer contain the angry mobs who wish for a westernized democracy and end to the reign of the Mullahs.

Ahmadinejad’s lack of experience in international affairs

Except for a certain embassy siege, of course...

"First, a government preoccupied with a diplomatic crisis would have little time to act on Ahmadinejad’s campaign promise of auditing the last 16 years to “ bring to book those who have robbed the nation and wrecked its economy.”"

The result of such an audit will be more Islamo Socialism which will result in further economic degradation. The spiral steepens.

The sooner the Tehran's Tyrants are toppled from power - the safer for the entire world.
