>>" All of this was bad enough, but the almost willful refusal of commentators in the American media to provide their audiences with insight into just how sinister Ahmadinejad really is compounded the problem. There are a couple of reasons for the media's general refusal to engage with radical Islamic revivalists, like Ahmadinejad. He belongs to a particularly aggressive school of radical Shiite Islam, the Haghani, which lives in expectation of the imminent coming of the Madhi, a kind of Islamic messiah, who will bring peace and justice -- along with universal Islamic rule -- to the entire world. Serious members of this school -- and Ahmadinejad, who was a brilliant university student, is a very serious member -- believe they must act to speed the Mahdi's coming. "The wave of the Islamic revolution" would soon "reach the entire world," he has promised." "<< Sam, are you buying into this kind of stuff? If so, why? Khatami, the so called "moderate" never had any "power" so that was supposedly the reason to ignore him but Ahmadinejad has the ability to bring back the Madhi...Geez... After reading Dan Senor's op ed in today's WSJ, I gather we should bomb and smash Iran because of supposedly Iran funded and planned Hizzbulah attacks on Buenos Aires Jewish/Israeli? sites in 1992 and 94 proved "positively" by some Argentinian named Toma. My gosh... And oh btw, what exactly did Ahmadinejad walk away with? A "win"?...what kind of win? Should we bomb him to get the "win" back?
