yes and no. he has not called for the eradication of the u.s. he does apparently believe that israel should cease to exist (as do most of our allies in the middle east for that matter), but has never called for any attack against israel.

He participated in the 1979 storming of the US Embassy in Tehran, imprisioning 444 Americans.

nope. when he was first elected there were some people who claimed that ahmedinajad was the guy in one of the photographs of the hostage-takers. one of the hostages even said that he thought it might be him. but the problem with that theory is that the names of the hostage-takers are public knowledge in iran. their names are written on the wall of the former u.s. embassy and many iranian politicians brag about it in their official biography. ahmedinajad is simply not any any of those lists and now the story is pretty much considered to be rebutted.

He backs Hezbollah, who, among other acts, killed 240 Marines in Lebanon in 1983.

true. it’s also worth mentioning that hezbollah has renounced violent acts against the u.s. and has not participated in any for over a decade.

He appluded the the Kobar Tower attack,the 1st WTC bombing, the USS Cole attack,& of course the events of Sept. 11th 2001.

that’s not true. actually iran declared an official day of mourning after 9/11 and tehran witnessed the first government sanctioned pro-american demonstration after the revolution in the days after that event.

So this guy announces to the world that Iran is now a member of the “nuclear community”, & what do I see here? I see that you don’t believe that he intends on using this technology for something other than “peaceful purposes”.

there’s no actual proof that they’re not developing it for peaceful purposes. the problem here is mostly what they might be capable of, not what we know they are

so basically, i don’t think the troll has it very right at all

Ahmadinejad is not the center of power in Iran. Nor is the President of Iraq the center of Power, it is the prime Minister in Iraq, the Supreme Mullah in Iran.

The key to the post is that the “Intel” on Iran we are giving IAEA is just as bad as the “Intel” we gave IAEA and the UN regarding Iraq.

Undedr the UN resolutions prior to the Iraq war all nations with “Intel” were required to provide it to the UN so the Inspectors could track it down.

We did, they did and they found nothing! So now we give our “intel” to IAEA and they track it down and find nothing!

Kevin’s historical points are invalid and so is his position that W is in the job of protecting us! The harm to the US by attacking Iran will dwarf the problems we have had after the invasion of Iraq.

The president of Iran has called for the eradication of both the US & Isreal. He participated in the 1979 storming of the US Embassy in Tehran, imprisioning 444 Americans. He backs Hezbollah, who, among other acts, killed 240 Marines in Lebanon in 1983. He appluded the the Kobar Tower attack,the 1st WTC bombing, the USS Cole attack,& of course the events of Sept. 11th 2001. C’mon, Iran has been bullying us for, gee, 30 YEARS!

So this guy announces to the world that Iran is now a member of the “nuclear community”, & what do I see here? I see that you don’t believe that he intends on using this technology for something other than “peaceful purposes”. you go back to the ole’ “Bully Bush” line. Yea, that’s the ticket! Blame Bush.

The problem is dunce Bush gets it, & the Democratic leadership knows this. That’s why this meaningless non-binding resolution stuff is going on.
These people consider us the Great Satan, regardless of which party is in power. Those hostages were taken with a Democrat in the White House. Read what Clinton said about Sadaam & WMD’s.

If it’s your job to protect the country, you CANNOT assume it can’t happen. Britain & France paid a dear price for thinking that Hitler & Stalen wouldn’t cooperate.

I’d rather see the war over there than here, which is on the way if the mindset that I just read prevails.
