Did you ever read chairman mao? We used MAD there as well. If you believe iran is mad then you cant use mad. I get it. But that assumption is mad imo.

"You cannot rely on MAD with Iran or with any of these extremists, because their own survival is not an important consideration for them. "

Give me a break. The next mullah to strap on a suicide vest will be the first.

"Ahmedinejad is just as much an Islamic terrorist engaged in jihad as is bin Laden or Atta. "

Even if true, it isn't relevant. He can't do anything against Israel, that power is in the hands of the Supreme Leader.

He can threaten all he wants. What he can't do is actually act.

It absolutely does. There is a big difference between the Cold War and what is going on with Iran -- MAD.

Since nearly the beginning, there have been two major views of the world and bunch of side views on this thread. Your view has been almost consistently wrong......and I think its wrong in its view of Iran.
