Comment on The Mystical Menace of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

It may take another couple of years before Ahmadinejad has a nuclear device and a delivery system. The capabilities of the Iranian armed forces are not that great. They fought a war with a 'third grade' army in Iraq and after years of fighting and the loss of millions, got no where. Where as it took the US only a couple of days to defeat the Iraqi armed forces. Therefore, we should not give much credence to the fighting forces of Iran. We could take them on in one morning and grant them a humiliating defeat.
Ahamdinejad's verbosity is like an empty drum, just making noise.

To compare him to Hitler is far fetched. Hitler had a very strong military and had a first class industrialized country backing him.. Ahamedinejad's mentality may be equal to Hitler's but his country is third world status.They cannot even repair their planes, as they have no spare parts. Ahamdinejad has no intelligence or substance and have no idea about the capabilities of the Israeli forces or for that matter of the US forces.

Another factor is that Ahmadinejad does not have the support of all Iranians
