Steyn's column which I linked and posted here goes into extensive detail concerning the near total congruence over the decades between the Iranians' stated intentions and their acts. Although I had not articulated nor thought about it as clearly as Steyn has, this congruence is the basis for my conclusion that the Iranians will take action against Israel the minute they can. The leaders' statements have consistently indicated that they intend to wipe Israel off the map. Here is the link to it: Message 22346947 Considering the record, they need to be taken at their word. As for Ahmadinejad's insanity, check this story. He's clearly delusional: thescotsman.scotsman.com Iranian president says celestial light protected him at UN IRAN'S hardline president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, claims a celestial green "light" descended on him when he addressed world leaders at the United Nations. The aura also transfixed his audience, who sat unblinking for nearly half an hour as he spoke, he claimed. In a video published on an Iranian website, Mr Ahmadinejad says that someone present at the UN when he addressed the General Assembly in September told him: "When you began with the words 'In the name of God ...' I saw a light coming, surrounding you and protecting you." The president added: "I felt it myself, too, that suddenly the atmosphere changed and ... the leaders could not blink. I had opened their eyes and ears for the message of the Islamic Republic." That message went down badly with many countries, however, as the president insisted on Iran's right to control its nuclear fuel cycle for energy purposes.
