"...it would be perceived as the final insane trumpet call of a thoroughly off-the-wall administration with a committed religious outlook..."
This is a far more apt description of current day Iran which more ressembles a nightmarish image of orcs and deranged visionaries on the war march in the Middle Earth of J.R. Tolkein`s "Lord of the Rings" than a responsible real state in the community of nations. Israel is facing a fanatical Shiite Tribe which will ruthlessly destroy its own as well as any other infidel who will not bow to it repressive doctrines from the Dark Ages. Ahmadinejad may be intellectually mediocre at best, but it is his appeal to the primal instincts of the masses which ignites the misery, hunger and xenophoebia of the oppressed millions of that undeveloped country. It is indeed 1938 all over again and Hitler is rising in the East with WMD`s of all kinds readily available for the right price. Only this time Israel will be ready.
