Good point. The Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), currently headed by Ali Larijani. Larijani doubles as Iran's top negotiator on nuclear issues and foreign polity and enjoys close relations with Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has final say over all SNSC decisions. "Decisions in Iran are made by consensus rather than decree"

Since Ahmadinejad's rise to power in Iran, the real power now lies with the Shiite clergy and their supreme religious leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
With this in mind, the rhetoric we hear from Ahmadinejad should be taken seriously since if he were not echoing the policies and objectives of the real people in control, he would not be president very long - or perhaps even alive.

The US government seems hellbent on attacking Iran anyway
If a country or an individual can't use the possessive pronoun "mine" then they cease to exist
The US government doesn't even have a domestic mandate, yet the want to be the De-facto world government

When AhmaNutJob makes those statements he drives the price of oil up and makes BILLIONS!
He is a smart man, and we keep playing into his hands.
YOu are correct, we should ignore him, Israel will take care of Iran when the time is right, and we are only helping him to stay in power by reacting to him.

people don't know the power structure of Iran...
"you mean all presidents aren't the same?" they say...
he's little more than a glorified cheerleader...
but, if there is some concern, it's that he probably doesn't say a lot without the OK of the religious leaders...

If the word President is in his title - the neocons assume he has similar powers to our Deciderator. Faux News and hate radio encourage the hate and ignorance.

He has no official control.
Are you really unaware of the influence he holds?
Then perhaps the educational system does need an overhaul.

Because he's the chosen figurehead by the people who actually have power. Thus, when he says something it is speaking in their behalf.
