My appology to the Pigs they have fsr higher standards than to debase themselves with this mentally Ill weirdo.
SPoken like a true pawn of teh American propaganda machine.
You probably used that exact same line in 2003 didn't you?
You're programmed and you don't even know it.
Do you actually believe that Amadenejad is a noble, honourable and well balanced individual ?
Did I indicate anywhere in my post what I thought of Ahmadinejad? I don't believe he's psychotic. That's the first rule of foreign policy propaganda--convince the sheep that the the leader of teh enemy is insane. Remember "So-damn Insane"? I'm sure you used the term frequently.
This is useful because, when people believe it, they no longer try to rationalize his actions. They just say "That guy's a loon." It persuades people not to think too hard about why the enemy is doing what he is doing. ANd persuading people not to think is what propaganada is all about.
Either Ahmadinejad is telling the truth, or he is lying. If he is lying, there is a perfectly rational explanation for that too. He would be foolish to announce to the world that he is on the brink of nuclear capability. If you can reach the plateau of nuclear capability it offers several advantages (look at Pakistan and North Korea).
Also factored into the equation, one must remember that the people of the world were misled on weapons of mass destrcution and Al Qeada connections when the US and Britain wanted to conquer Iraq. The propaganda in the US is that
everybody believed that they had WMD, but the reality is that there were many influenital and knowledgeable people questioning this (Blix, Ritter, Wilson, etc). So I must consider that the elites may be lying.
Iran has a long and complex history and tangled relationship with western powers. Their current activities make sense to me within the conext of that history, and I don't have to resort to the spoon-fed line that he's insane to understand their current course of action.
