hahaha.. good question, but no and
Please, my whole point was simply that his 'crazyness' is exaggerated by our mainstream media seemingly (and its my assertion that) it is in order to demonize his whole country.
I heard an Iranian talking about it the other day say that ahmadenejad is not that important from the perspective of most Iranians. He wants attention and says inflamatory things to get it.. hmm, i don't have a deep understanding of Iran but my point still stands, we don't hear much in the U.S. press of what he says that is reasonable, just the out of context edits of him at his worst.
I am not defending the guy or in his camp. maybe people assume this but it's not said enough.. when the administration decides it wants to do something.. like make war on a country, the mainstream press too often goes along with it and demonizes whoever with a one sided repetition of the worst angle possible.
