Anyways I got to thinking we in the USA are occupied with Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. and now Iran. I just got to thinking about the president of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the speeches he has made. It is quite troubling between the relations of him and Hiter.The similarities between Ahmadinejad and Hitler have been troubling in terms of words and now actions, Ahmadinejad's seeking to distinguish Jews and Christians from non-Muslims as Hitler had done with the Jewish people. In August of 1935, Hitler declared, "I am convinced no power on earth can attack us again." On April 18, 2006, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated, "Iran's enemies know your courage, faith and commitment to Islam and the land of Iran has created a powerful army that can powerfully defend the political borders and the integrity of the Iranian nation and cut off the hands of any aggressor." In that same speech, Hitler also stated, "We want pleace and reconstruction." IN Ahmadinejad's speech in he said, "We want peace, security and progress for all people, in particular countries of the region and our neighbors." Both leaders sought to cast themselves as strongly wanting world peace. At the time, Hitler was seeking to rebuild the German military. In August of 1934, Hitler vowed that "if it rests with Germany, war will not come again...we shall never fight again except in self-defense." On April 24, 2006, Ahmadinejad stated, "I suport peace and quiet, and I am a very peace-loving man... To this day, I have never harmed an ant in my life. Allah willing, I will never harm any living or inanimate object." In terms of actions, Iran has been seeking to gain full control over the entire nuclear fuel cycle much as Hitler's Germany had sought independence from foreign raw materials under its "Autarkie" policy. At the time, Germany's dependence on imported raw materials was seen as its biggest obstacle to rearmament. Iran sees control over the nuclear fuel cycle being key to its gaining full control of its destiny. "When a people master nuclear technology and nuclear fuel, nothing can be done against them," Iran’s armed forces joint chief of staff, Gen Hassan Firouzabadi explained.

Now reports are coming out that the Iranian parliament passed a law that "would require the country's Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims." Some deny it dismissing it as untrue, although in reality I would not doubt this is happening...

Basically I am against Iran having anything to do with nuclear "energy" and in my opinion Iran should of been watched more closely than Iraq, but of course you seen what happened. I really hope this gets solved peacefully... What do you all think?

nice avatar

You too

do u two want a private room lol

Iran is a powder keg, I could be wrong but I don't think the UN will allow it and I believe Iran wants nukes very badly. And I think it could possibly spark ww3. Of course I hope for a peaceful outcome.

Could have sworn I read something about the UN being okay with Iran and nuclear mining. Haven't paid much attention to it. Just thought it was more rhetoric and Bush wanted to blow up another country.

Iran could be a danger with that power, that guy is talkin greazier than Korea...

Is he serious, who knows...
It could all be crap or it could all be very serious.

suddenly before we realized what happened there'll be world war3.

lol

I pretty much agree, if it is serious it will be very hard for the US to attempt another ground war, it would have to be an air war. Iran is better off without the nuclear tech, it seems kind of obvious to me when Russia said they would house the nuclear stuff in there country, yet Iran still refused, the intentions aren't good One thing with North Korea is they actually have the nuclear weapons already, so both are really a danger

People say the UN is crap, before they even let the UN work it out. I am for the UN and everything should be done through them at the moment. And wouldn't you know it we aren't alone on this issue....for once....

i hate war
just because the stupid leader the innocent people suffering

Well we could always turn Iran into a glass parking lot or even the whole middle east for that matter.

At least that's what someone invariably says everytime I read a political thread about the middle east. Of course what these people don't realize is that trying to solve international problems by just going "screw 'em, kill 'em all and let god sort 'em out" is exactly what we've been doing either with our own soildiers or with proxy countries, or by just supplying terrorists with US weapons to over throw governments that didn't want to sell us oil at the price we liked for the last 50 years. And obviously all it's gotten us is planes flown into our buildings.

So either these politicians stop acting like a bunch of kids on a school yard playground, and start acting like the adults they actually are and ya know do what we all tell our kids to do which is "be the better man" and "work out their problems in a intelligent non-violence manner". Or this whole thing can continue to spiral into massive chaos with hundreds of thousands of innocents getting killed in the middle.

Of course the latter is what's most likley to happen unless there is a drastic changes in leadership. Take Palestine for example. The US is always going on and on endlessly about democratically elected leaders, according the US if your country doesn't have a democratically elected leader they've got the right to blow your ass up whenver they please because you must be all a bunch murdering terrorists. So what happends in Palestine? Hamas, an organization with known terrorist ties get's democratically elected to represent the Palestinian people (probably because nobody in the middle would actually fight for their rights) and of course Bush does a nice little flip flop and won't deal with them.

So I guess it's becareful what you wish for.

LeonardSix, very nice post! I find it both funny and sad who Bush aligns himself with.
