Who do you think is more of a 'madman'....North Korea's Kim Jong Il or Ahmadinejad?

Question

A neoconservative ideologist whom Bush has consulted on this topic, has written that Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is "like Hitler...a revolutionary whose objective is to overturn the going international system and to replace it in the fullness of time with a new order dominated by Iran and ruled by the religio-political culture of Islamofascism."
For this staggering proposition Podhorentz provides not a scintilla of evidence.
A decade ago, Kim Jong Il allowed a famine to kill 2 million of his own people, forcing the others to survive by eating grass, while he imported gallons of expensive French wine. He has sold nuclear technology to other rogue states and threatened his neighbors with test-firirngs of rockets and missiles. Yet the United States will be participating in international relief efforts to Pyongyang worth billions of dollars.

Answer 1

Kim is more dangerous. First of all, he has absolute power. Ahmadinejad is a figure head, the real power in Iran is the ayatollah and he is frequently irritated by Ahmadinejad.s behavior. Also, Ahmadinejad is a elected official limited by terms... Americans don't really understand that Iran is set up as a Republic and has practiced as a republic.... the Ayatollah has absolute power over policy but everything has to be voted on. Ahmadinejad will not even be in power when the Iranians have nuclear capability.

Ahmadinejad is a fool but he is not quite the threat that our leaders are making him out to be.

Should we hit at either of them... no. Neither of them are a threat to us... Kim has sold nuclear technology to other nations though and this should be addressed... it is bizarre to me that we are willing to "pay" Kim billions.

Answer 2

Kim Jong Il

North Korea is as close to a 'slave state' as we have in the world today.

The Iranians have some rights, as long as they're men.

Can you imagine calling George Bush II "Dear Leader?":)

Even Hitler didn't insist people call him "Dear Fuhrer."

Answer 3

North Korea has already started efforts to get off America's terrorist/terrorist supporter list and is changing its nuclear goals accordingly.
With that Kim Jong is no worse than Zimbabwe's president

Answer 4

In answer to YOUR QUESTION, it has to be Kim Jong II. He has ABSOLUTE power and, while he may or may not be a madmen today, the possibility that he could become a certified madman is always present, and therefore, extremely dangerous to the rest of world...madmen may not aim, they may just shoot!

Answer 5

a difficult question when both are termed "mad"!better try the definition of politics to know them a bit more - where politicians are decorated( statues erected) for killings , then stripped off of all these.it's funny -the politics where people are made and remade by whims and fancies of the electorates?
have we not seen so many come and go with their ideologies to undo all at systems.where are they today and what they have left as legacy?
or we cannot appreciate politics as practised(at high level)?
