Ahmadinejad taking pages from Saddams Handbook?

Question

This is just the beginning in a series of events leading up to war.

Nobody will remember these things when war is declared on Iran and insist that Iran is peaceful and they never had any intent on building WMD's.

Ahmadinejad is pushing issues to the point of confrontation, then backs off. That is the exact same thing Saddam has done. Invading Kuwait, shooting at US aircraft, barring nuclear inspectors, etc.

Then after they are defeated, they call it a victory.
They call it a victory because they have intimidated "Satan" or what they call western intimidation or bullying.

"Unfortunately the British government was not even brave enough to tell their people the truth, that it made a mistake," Ahmadinejad said.

Will we ever find out who was right and who was wrong?
Who really won, who lost?
Who submitted?
It's time for answers!

Answer 1

we will never find out who was right & who was wrong coz that's how it goes with every matter in life ..

Ahmedi najad is not like Saddam .. COME ON, he's not killing his own people .. he's just trying to speak out & get some of the rights that other countries have ..

Answer 2

Just a few points

1) There is more than meets the eye: There are rumours that Iran are arming Shia guerillas in Southern Iraq, there are counter rumours that the Allied forces are arming seperatists in the Khuzestan province of Iran.

2) Allied forces are in Afghanistan and Iraq and the country that lies between is......Iran. They would be mad not to consider a nuclear arms programme especially as they were claimed to be in an 'axis of evil' along with Iraq, the latter have been invaded for no appearent reason. Bush's claims had totally undermined the 'dialogue of civilizations' policy followed by the Iranian government of the late 90s.

3) As previously mentioned, Iran's neighbour was invaded without provocation. Iran also has a history with UK and the US that pre-dates the Islamic revolution of 1979, this includes being invaded by the Allied forces in WW2 as well as UK/US aided coup that overthrew a democratic government in the 1950s and replaced it with a despotic shah. We could hardly be called blameless on the issue of aggression.

Answer 3

When you said out of Sadam's book I thought you were going to mention that Saddam did hold some Britons hostage in the run up to the first Gulf war. I still expect sanctions against Iran over the nuclear issue and then war. It may be a few more years further ahead than some people anticipated though.

Answer 4

Iran flexed it's authority over it's territorial waters, Briton got it's people back, Syria backed a peaceful resolution and no blood was shed. sounds like everyone won and nobody really lost anything.
I do agree this was a power play and it was intended as drawing a line in the sand but the cool headed Brits resolved it quite well despite Bush deriding their diplomatic endeavors

Answer 5

I'm impressed you could spell Ahmadinejad, but you also have keen insight, and you are absolutely right. These loonies really need to be held in check. Could you imagine what they would do with a real WMD considering they have no hesitation using a home made one to blow up innocent people.

Answer 6

Good observation. I'm hoping the Iranians will reel this guy in. Not everyone in Iran is supportive of this Kook.

Answer 7

That little freak is so upset he isn't officially in this war yet. He's like the kid who always got picked last atthe dodgeball game.

Answer 8
