Excellent -- but the divorce comment was a low blow. :^)

You say, "...I want everybody to stop and think about something. Christians, Jews, and Muslims are expecting a Messiah to appear at some point and bring a sensible and reasonable peace to the planet. Everyone agrees about what a Messiah is, what a Messiah would do, and who a Messiah represents. Uhhh ... so we fight about that??? Let's be patient and let the Messiah clear up all confusion."

Good point. Consider this... The Tanach leaves non-Messianic Jews awaiting the arrival of the Messiah while Christians proclaim than no one knows the day nor the hour of the Messiah's return. The G_d of Judeo Christianity is totally in control from both a Christian or Jewish perspectives -- not man.

On the other hand here we find Ahmadinejad professing that his behavior can determine the return of the twelfth Imam, and by inference control their God, Allah's behavior -- Seems like delusions of grandeur to me. Is this a fair point to make? If so, he must be removed from the stage immediately and preferably by Iranians.

If everyone's on the same page, it seems to me your point, "...Let's be patient and let the Messiah clear up all confusion." is the correct one. Unfortunately, does not appear everyone is on that page.
