Your thoughts?

I think he's wrong.

i agree with sandyroe

[missnemesis]

I wouldn't put anything past Bush and his administration. How could he have gotten his 'War on Terrorism' up and running without any terrorists?

[squarebear]

I agree with Noth3

[Bobbisox]

and I just think this guy is a complete nutter!!!
even his own people despise him

[naomi24]

I agree with Bobbisox when she says this bloke is a complete nutter.

Read between the lines people, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and others like him KNOW that terrorists committed 9/11, and are using psychology to anger and rile their people.

what a load of old pony! I'm not surprised at old Dinnerjacket but others give this air time. We spend most of the time saying western governements couldn't organise a pi55 up in a brewery, then some conspiracy cobblerrs comes along and thousands start to give it credence, peeeeerlease!

Hi Stevie and all, I know a lovely Iranian couple who say he is hated in their country by all but the mad Mullahs who actually empower him to stay there

[cazzz1975]

wow that would be horrific if true, but I seriously doubt that something so disastrous could be planned.

I wouldn't necessarily assume he's a nutter just because he's talking nonsense. I think it's quite cynical.
These remarks aren't addressed to the west - they're directed to the people at home who keep him in power. He's saying the things he thinks they want to hear.
Of course he may well just be a nutter.

Either way, not someone who should be in charge of a nuclear weapon.

[naomi24]

I think you're right Ludwig. I have no doubt he's saying what the people want to hear. Nutty or not, he's a dangerous man.

I'm not sure the mullahs are that keen on him. He's not a religious hardliner at all, he's a populist. He upset the real hardliners a year or two back by shaking hands with his old schoolteacher - an old woman in chador - on a stage: they were outraged that a male and female should make physical contact in public. I think the mullahs would vote for him ahead of any reformist, but that's about as far as it goes.
