... theres no denying how insane Iran's ruler is.




I never met him personally.
And as for the word "ruler", just to give you an idea of his actual power: I remember, that during the World Cup he wanted to allow Iranian woman to attend soccer games. He had not the power, to decide this.
The title "president" actually doesn´t mean very much in Iran, which is a theocracy with some democratic elements, but everyone with a little insight will tell you, that the real power is with the clerics.

This is someone who repeatedly talks of annihilating Israel and the United States.




When did he talk of "annihilating" the United States?
As for Israel, I have read in several western newspapers (the Guardian, the New York Times), that his actual speech was quite different from the hysterical quote "wipe off the map", that is now repeated time and again, because it sells so good.
According to these sources he did not mention Israel directly, but "the regime occupying Jerusalem" and he listed it in a long speech together with the soviet regimes and the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
He was not saying, that Iran is going to "wipe" anything "off the map", but expressed his expectation, that this regime would "disappear from the page of time". This means not more and not less, than that he is unhappy with the current politics of the Israeli government - an attitude that is not really exceptional in this region of mutual mistrust.

If he has nukes and starts taunting with them, a war would be guaranteed




We are talking here of a nation, that has made it clear through its highest religious authority, that it regards nuclear weapons as "unislamic", accused by nations that do have real nuclear weapons. One of these nations has used them in the past. Another one has just decided to modernize its arsenal.
We are talking of a nation, that has not started wars in recent centuries, accused by nations who just recently did this, based on false accusations.

Someone here mentioned, they could deliver their non-existent nukes to Bin Laden. This is absolute nonsense, because Bin Ladens terror group is Sunni and Iran is predominantly Shia. Bin Laden and his gang are currently blowing off Shias everyday in Iraq, and Mr Ahmadinedjad would more likely give his hypothetical nukes to Israel, before he would give them to Bin Laden.
But he doesn´t have them.
