Why this man should give us all nightmares

poll of young Iranians showed that only 5 per cent watched religious programmes, and only 6 per cent said that they were interested in religion at all.

Have seen similar reports elsewhere, also that internal unrest is growing there. Hope the West is discreetly encouraging them.

Hey isn't it almost August 23rd?!? Guess the 12th Imam forgot his date, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!

[Jet Jaguar]

Same dude.

[KneelBeforeZod]

I'm still waiting for thatiranian revolution I kept hearing about on FR a few months ago...the one they are on the brink of...

Thank-you Jimmy Carter.

It is scary to think that Carter was so ignorant of world affairs that he turned Iran over to this kind of madness. And some people on thisw forum want to sit out this election, just to show the Republicans that they are not perfect. Carter's presidency is a study in why who you elect matters. His decisions have lead us to the place we are at now.

almadinejad is the one with nightmares,he is now pretty much surrounded by U.S. allies.

Sleep well almadinejad.

"But ordinary Iranians - while shocked at the devastation caused by Israel"?

The devastation was caused by Iran working the strings of Hezbollah to further its goals. To say otherwise is a lie.

If the Iman emerges from his well and sees his shadow-does that mean we get 6 more weeks of Iran's BS?

"After all, we gulped, but then decided to accept Pakistan's and India's nuclear bombs. Why? Because we recognised that their bombs are, essentially, a continuation of the Mutually Assured Destruction doctrine which, as a deterrent, kept us from nuclear Armageddon throughout the Cold War. "

unless an islamic goverment gets control of pakistan. i am sure the pakistani nukes are a continuing source of concern to the US.

[sd-joe]

He's probably afraid of his shadow. That's why he has hung out in the bottom of the well for so long.

[bobby.223]

yeah, "lets all stay awake" at night concerned about Imahandjob having a nuke.

[phoenix0468]

Well, maybe, but it also means he goes back in the well and doesn't come out for a while, ROFLMAO!!

[Billthedrill]

It's the Iranians who ought to be (and are) having nightmares. Ahmadinejad pushes the right buttons and a whole bunch of people who hate him in Tehran are going to be looking at the wrong end of an Israeli revenge nuke. Anyone who was in Germany during the 30's recognizes the syndrome - a fanatical nut-case with a violent, radical following starts something the rest of them will be held accountable for forever. It's a slow-motion train wreck and we can't stop watching it.

[HelloooClareece]

Thank you, I couldn't have said it better.

Of course ordinary Iranians are not, on the whole, apocalyptic types: they are warm, welcoming to 'infidels' like me and, frankly, deeply fed up.

They don't obsess about the return of the Mahdi, they don't want nuclear weapons, and they certainly don't want an apocalyptic world war.

As one young Tehrani told me: 'I don't know why we are spending so much time antagonising he West. We're just getting more and more isolated, and our economy is in a complete mess.'

BINGO

[pcottraux]

If anyone is a modern-day Hitler, it is probably Ahmadinejad.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

If the Mullahs like to have their cash swimming around in "infidel banks" and don't particularly care to see the Western World set aflame at the moment, why get this nutcase to be their president? It's not like the Iranian people have a choice in the matter anyway.

LOL

It is scary to think that Carter was so ignorant of world affairs that
he turned Iran over to this kind of madness.

Yep.
In some documentary, the scholar Bernard Lewis said that when Carter
was busy letting the Ayatollah have his way...
Lewis wanted to learn more about what the Ayatollah was all about.

Lewis said he walked down to the library, found a book by the Ayatollah,
and read it.

Lewis said the book laid out the plan that the Ayatollah executed.
(sort of the way Hitler did with "Mein Kampf"...but that's just
VOA's way of putting it)

So, either Carter's staff failed him on the research end...or Carter
read the Ayatollah's book, but refused to believe Khomeini actually
meant what he said (or wrote).
