Crazy, or Crazy Like A Fox?

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is spewing out the bullshit once again.

"You should believe that this regime (Israel) cannot last and has no more benefit to you. What benefit have you got in supporting this regime, except the hatred of the nations?" he said in nationally broadcast speech Friday.

"We have advised the Europeans that the Americans are far away, but you are the neighbors of the nations in this region," he said.

"We inform you that the nations are like an ocean that is welling up, and if a storm begins, the dimensions will not stay limited to Palestine, and you may get hurt."

Basically, this guy is either a genocidal maniac, or a brilliant tactician. He's almost egging on world powers to either attack or sanction his country. He's warning Europeans that if they continue support for Israel, that the American's are "far away".

Does he not think that if Iran attacked Italy, France, Germany, or any other country, that we couldn't come down with a rain of fire within a short amount of time? Does he not think that these respective countries don't have a military of their own and defend themselves? Does he not know that there's a war being conducted in his own back yard? I've seen interviews with him. He does come across as a normal and reasonable person. Hell, he's almost charming. That's the problem. World citizens might fall for this bullshit, but then they don't see it when he's spewing out how countries should be wiped off the map.

So the better question is this, does he believe the rhetoric that he's spewing, or is he doing it so that either us or Israel will attack, uniting the Iranian people under a nationalistic pride? Only time will tell, but if military action is taken, I say those who do attack shouldn't just set the Iranian nuclear program back a few years, I say they bomb it back to the very beginning of the program.
