>Is not presently engaged in killing American soldiers in Iraq>

Sunnis and Shias are killing American soldiers. Then why is Bush having photo opportunities with them?

>Is not arming the Shia militias to destabilize Iraq>

Does Iraq need any destabilization after a decade of sanctions followed by US attack?

>Is not funding the Taliban>

Isn't Taliban Sunni and Iran Shia? en.wikipedia.org

>Does not deny the Holocaust>

Do you take him as an authority on that subject? Does anyone? Only he comes off as a fool if he denies it completely.

>Is not funding Hizbullah and Hamas with hundreds of millions of dollars year>

Didn't Hamas win the election sometime ago?

>Is not trying to destroy democracy in Lebanon with a Hizbullah coup. and by assassinating opposition politicians>

Isn't Hizbullah supported by a significant percantage of people in Lebenon?

>Does not openly proclaim that the Israel will soon be destroyed and ought to be "wiped off the map">

I have read different interpretations/versions of that comment.

>Does not parade Pakistani warheads with "Death to the USA" and "Death to Israel" written on them>

Hasn't US been threatening Iran for a while? Didn't Iraq with support from USA attack Iran in which million+ iranians died. Any rational person will think that a regime that survived that war would show some defiance. (On the other hand they dealt with USA during Iran/contra scandal during the same war). Makes you wonder how the "nation" states work?

>Is not a fanatic Mahdist expecting the imminent return of the 12th Imam>

So? Many people in power hold strange religious beliefs. So did Mahatma Gandhi.
