The fence would be in the right places if there was someone to negotiate with. You conveniently forget that. No peace without an end to terror and cross border rocket attack. You can count on that. So you think rabin, barak, sharon and olmert are bad. What would make you happy Ed?

I've seen him interviewed and he has his radical views but he's not some out-of-control, "messenger of Allah," fruitcake. So you liked the part where he said that a green halo appeared around him while he was speaking at the UN, and that nobody in the whole audience blinked for half an hour? And the bit when he prayed for the imminent return of the Mahdi? If George Bush ended a speech praying for the Second Coming, I can just imagine what you would say about it. But from Adhmedinijad, hey, no sweat.

I've seen him interviewed and he has his radical views but he's not some out-of-control, "messenger of Allah," fruitcake., Who the H*ll do you think you're kidding? Just look at Ahmadinejad's comments about his speech before the UN!! If that doesn't equate to "messianic megalomania", I don't know what does: rferl.org Ahmadinejad said that someone present at the UN told him that a light surrounded him while he was delivering his speech to the General Assembly. The Iranian president added that he also sensed it. "He said when you began with the words 'in the name of God,' I saw that you became surrounded by a light until the end [of the speech]," Ahmadinejad appears to say in the video. "I felt it myself, too. I felt that all of a sudden the atmosphere changed there, and for 27-28 minutes all the leaders did not blink." Ahmadinejad adds that he is not exaggerating. "I am not exaggerating when I say they did not blink; it's not an exaggeration, because I was looking," he says. "They were astonished as if a hand held them there and made them sit. It had opened their eyes and ears for the message of the Islamic Republic." Baztab.com reported that during the meeting, Ayatollah Amoli said that "carrying out promises and restraining from fooling people" is the most important duty, presumably of officials . However, it is unclear whether that comment is made in reaction to the claim made by Ahmadinejad..... ....... Since the presidential elections in Iran, many bizarre stories and rumors have circulated about Ahmadinejad. Many of them are related to his devotion to the 12th Imam, also known as Imam Mahdi, who according to Muslims has disappeared and will return at the end of time to lead an era of Islamic justice. During his September speech at the UN, Ahmadinejad called for the reappearance of the 12th Imam. In mid-November, during a speech to Friday prayers leaders from across Iran, Ahmadinejad said that the main mission of the revolution is to pave the way for the reappearance of the 12th Imam. In recent weeks, the president's aides have denied a rumor that he ordered his cabinet to write a pact of loyalty with the 12th Imam and throw it down a well near the holy city of Qom, where some believe the Imam is hiding. Ahmadinejad's supporters said such rumors are being circulated about the president by opponents in efforts to defame him. Hawk
