Iran Leader Reiterates Holocaust Doubts
I'll never understand this mindset held by so many neo-Nazis and Muslims; the mindset whereby one denies the Holocaust yet on another level wants one.
In a sense Ahmadinejad is a blessing because he's articulating what many Muslims think and feel regarding Israel, but are perhaps smart enough not to say. The "civilized" world can't ignore these existential threats to Israel, they can't just brush them under the (Persian) carpet and go on with business as usual. The result is increased sympathy and support for Israel, which Israel needs and sorely lacks. If diplomacy is like poker, Ahmadinejad is the worst player in the world because he keeps showing his hands.
As the famous country song goes, You gotta know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away, and know when to give up on developing WMD's...

I think Ahmadjihadscumbo is actually pretty deliberate: he's trying to assume the mantle of Islamic World Leadership. He presents himself as the only authentic/extreme Muslim voice.
Face it - Bin Laden won't be issuing any fatwas against him.

You are probably right. Nevertheless, in doing what he's doing, he's laying his cards out on the table-- and that's a bad strategy.
