Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is adept at dodging questions. He delivers a speech well, though.
Ahmadinejad is a Mahdaviat (a person who believes in and prepares for the Mahdi.) Ahmadinejad spoke at the UN in 2005 and alluded to Imam Mahdi. In his speech of September 19, 2006 at the UN he averred, "I emphatically declare that today's world, more than ever before, longs for just and righteous people with love for all humanity; and above all longs for the perfect righteous human being and the real savior who has been promised to all peoples and who will establish justice, peace and brotherhood on the planet." Then he prayed, ""Oh, Almighty God, all men and women are your creatures and you have ordained their guidance and salvation. Bestow upon humanity that thirsts for justice, the perfect human being promised to all by you, and make us among his followers and among those who strive for his return and his cause."
The whois registration of his website lists his first name as mahdi http://lvb.net/item/3255
According to Shiites, the 12th imam disappeared as a child in the year 941. When he returns, they believe, he will reign on earth for seven years, before bringing about a final judgment and the end of the world.
Under Iran's constitution, the highest government official and commander-in-chief of the military is the Supreme Leader. The first Supreme Leader was Ayatollah Khomeni. The current Supreme Leader is Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei. Both the Supreme Leader and President Ahmadinejad have apocalyptic views. They want to bring about the zuhur (appearance) of Imam Mahdi. They want to establish a Shiite Khalifah (empire) from Iran to Lebanon.
Ahmadinejad choose his words well for the speech at the UN on September 19. Instead of naming names he says "some" [individual's] behavior is not worthy of human beings and runs counter to the Truth, to justice and to human dignity.
Ahmadinejad emphasized, The occupiers are incapable of establishing security in Iraq...there are covert and overt efforts to heighten insecurity, magnify and aggravate differences within Iraqi society, and instigate civil strife...It seems that intensification of hostilities and terrorism serves as a pretext for the continued presence of foreign forces in Iraq. Where can the people of Iraq seek refuge, and from whom should the Government of Iraq seek justice?
Next he discusses Palestine and Lebanon. Then he reiterates the statement made in other speeches, "The Islamic Republic of Iran is a member of the IAEA and is committed to the NPT. All our nuclear activities are transparent, peaceful and under the watchful eyes of IAEA inspectors." Maybe he has said that so often that he really believes it. It was over the issue of inspections that the current situation arose. Furthermore, there is an addendum to the NPT that Iran never signed.
Then finally, he names names,
"The question needs to be asked: if the Governments of the United States or the United Kingdom, who are permanent members of the Security Council, commit aggression, occupation and violation of international law, which of the organs of the UN can take them to account?"
Then he ended with the prayer for the mahdi.

He is a very intelligent man, very knowledgeable of the power of media. And I'm not really sure if he is the crazy dictator kind of guy everybody says he is. He definitely holds a grudge against America and Israel. His denial of the holocaust is a political statement, he does not really believe it did not happen. And he is too agressive about Israel for the same reason. An intelligent man like him will reach much more through negotiations. But he has chosen the tough road because of his sponsors in the Religious wings of government. He will not go to war. But he will support terrorist acts. And he will try to build an a-bomb. And the last two things combined pose enough danger to take him out fast.

His opinion of our President being a devil is not much different than the anti-Christ theory.

Deserves sanctions being taken against his country, and if he pushes his bad behaviour too far, military action.

He makes a lot more sense than our politicians.
At least, he works for his country not for Israel or corporations.
Imagine how much we would better understand if the corporate media gave more time and coverage to dissenting voices!!
