he hasnt done anything yet, but when someone calls for the total destruction of a whole race, like israelis, then you have to wonder.  He wants a democratic Iran but he still wants to destroy jews.  he doesnt know what he wants, but I know I wouldnt want him as my boss.

The Iranian leadership appears to advocate violence to other states as a matter of doctrine. There have been speeches by the leadership promising to wipe Isreal off the face of the map.\n\nIran is not averse to supplying arms to other groups to go and further their political aims. The idea that they may also supply terrorists with even low grade Uranium for use in a dirty bomb is not a pleasant thought.\n\nIran has supplied arms to Sunni muslims in Southern Iraq before. Iran supports Hezbollah terrorists and pays money to suicide bombers families. One of the first acts after the revolution was to sieze the American embassy and hold staff hostage. Iranians took hostages at their own embassy in London.

That's funny...\nI'm an American, although I've never called Iran a terrorist country.

Osama bin Laden has from the late 1990's grown into becoming the most known terrorist leader from the Muslim world, even if no condemning evidence ever has been presented. Osama has however often called for fighting against what he perceives as corrupt leaders of the Muslim world, as well as fighting against powers like Israel and USA. Following several terrorist attacks in the 1990's, Osama has congratulated the perpetrators, at the same time as claiming that he is not involved.\nOsama is of Saudi Arabian origin, but his Saudi citizenship was revoked in 1994 as a reaction to his attempts to overthrow the regime of Saudi Arabia. Today it is believed that he lives in Kandahar in southern Afghanistan, under the protection by the Taliban regime of Kabul.\nIt is doubtful if Osama is involved in the details of the terrorist actions. From his base in Afghanistan, he has little contact with the rest of the world, and it likely that he his role is defining ideology, defining core goals and distributing funds for the many terrorist groups that work together with Osama's Al-Qa'ida.\nOsama's rhetorics are not different in many fields from what is rather common around the Muslim world. He condemns the corrupt regimes in many Muslim countries, and bases this upon facts that would be accepted even in Western countries. And he condemns USA and Israel strongly both for their Palestine policy as well as the US presence in the Persian Gulf. These are opinions shared by a majority of Muslims all over the world, and a growing part of the peoples in non-Muslim countries. But Osama goes further, and involves himself in violent actions around the world, especially in Muslim countries. This is a part of his policy that most Muslims will disagree with.\nOsama has few friends among the leaders of the Muslim world. Persons like Mu'ammar Gadhafi and Saddam Hussayn, who also have been accused of participation in international terrorism, are his definite enemies. \nPERSONALITY\nNo matter what one might think of Osama's policy, there is no reason to believe that he is anything but honest in his belief. That is one of the reasons why he has been able to get as far as he has. He has also a reputation of being deeply loyal to his closest men.\nOsama has been described as a charismatic and ascetic man enjoying few luxuries, and who is almost mechanically true to his principles.\nSome commentators have suggested that he is now gradually changing from this rather humble appearance in the 1990's, into a character that more aware of his influential position. This is deduced from a films showing a more ornamented clothing style and a less humble way of addressing his followers.\nFollowing attempts on his life in 1997, Osama has become more concerned about his own safety than before, and he now moves between 4 or 5 camps near Kandahar. This has resulted in a great suspicion towards anyone outside the group of his closest comrades. \n\nOrganization 1: MAK - MAKTABU L-KHIDAMAT\nOsama has been involved in establishing 2 very important organizations, MAK (Maktabu l-khidamat) in 1979 and Al-Qa'ida in 1988. While the purpose of these two were different — MAK was built to drive the Soviet troops out of Afghanistan — they are linked in the sense that Al-Qa'ida would never have come were it not for MAK.\nMAK was started by Osama together with the leader of the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood, Abdallah Azzam.\nWith MAK, Osama was able to recruit troops from all over the Arab world, but especially from Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Egypt. More than 10,000 are believed to have been training by MAK, and then participated in the warfare against the Soviet Union. Large number of the MAK troops lost their lives in the war, but the survivors came through as exceptionally skilled soldiers.\n There have been many suggestions that MAK received both funds and training from CIA (the main intelligence organization of USA) — this has never been offic

The most vile, horrible acts have been committed in the name of religion.  People can act inhumanely if they are convinced it is the "will of God".\n\nIran is a theocracy.  If their Ayatollahs tell them it is the will of Allah to nuke another country, the people will accept it.\n\nIran has already stated they want to obliterate Israel.  If you think this is just idle bluster, look at this website and you will see the true face of Islam:  \n\nhttp://www.snopes.com/photos/politics/muslimprotest.asp\n\nRead their signs, look at their faces and tell me if people like this should be trusted with nukes!\n\nTherefore, until Iran develops a more sophisticated, less hostile and volatile form of government, they should not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

Without addressing the question of whether the assassination of Ahmadinejad would be practical or strategically desirable, if he is aggressively threatening the safety and stability of the free world, then it would be moral without question. To parallel my answer to your Hitler question, assassination of Ahmadinejad would, in that circumstance, be a defensive tactic, not an aggressive one. The question is whether Ahmadinejad can yet be considered the aggressor. \n\nAhmadinejad is seeking atomic weapons.  He has called for the elimination of Israel as a state.  He has openly stated that, while it would take several atomic weapons to destroy Iran, it would take only one to destroy Israel, based on its size.  He supports Hamas and Hezbollah, both of which aggressively attack Israel and threaten regional stability.  He seeks to use his proxies, Hezbollah and Syria, to choke off democracy in Lebanon.  He foments violence in Iraq in order to destabilize the democracy there and to frustrate US interests.  Are these actions bringing us inevitably toward war?  If so, then a preemptive assassination would be moral in light of the alternative.\n\nIf the choice is to kill one man now, or to kill hundreds of thousands later, then it is moral to kill one man now. I don't think we have enough information at this point to answer that question, nor do we have enough information to examine fully the practical pros and cons (but that is a separate question). \n\nOn another note, the fact that Ahmadinejad was democratically elected is of no consequence.  Hitler was democratically elected also.

This question is too general.  If someone asked "Do you believe Americans are terrorists ?" and the only Americans you knew of, in depth, were Timothy McVeigh or Ted Kaczynski, your logical answer would be "Yes".\n\nIranians, as in *the Iranian people*, are not terrorists.  The country of Iran most likely harbors Iranian citizens who are terrorists, as most countries in the world harbor citizens who are terrorists.\n\nIs Iran a terrorist state ? (i.e. the government sanctions terrorists and acts of terrorism) Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how you define "acts of terrorism".  In the Middle East and throughout the world, many people feel that the U.S.'s invasion of Iraq was an act of terrorism, especially as 30,000 Iraqi citizens have been killed since the commencement of hostilities in March 2003. Does that make the U.S. a "terrorist state" ? To many people, Yes.

Yeah, and who's the psychopath. I think that I'd trust the Iranian president over that compulsive liar Bush any day.

ahmadinejad, pronounced 'Im-a-dam-nut-job', is the ruler of Iran\nSince his election as the president of Iran, Ahmadinejad has been a controversial figure. He has been subject to various allegations such as election fraud, alleged involvement in the Iran Hostage Crisis, assassinations of Kurdish politicians in Austria, support of or engagement in terrorist activities, and Holocaust denial.\nSee wikipedia for more, including correct pronumciation.

Yes he is.  For the safety of the world we have to make sure that the Iranian terrorist regieme does not get nuclear weapons.

He is somewhat like a little boy who has discovered that his plastic pistol is a developing nuclear arsenal. He hasn't a clue what to do or how to act as the head of government. Whether he truly believes all that he says (for example, the fallacy of the Holocaust) or is simply attempting to gain global attention (like a five-year-old), the man is deranged and incapable of leading a flock of sheep!\nBottom line: He will not last long as leader. The Iranian religious leadership will soon find that no one in the world is taking him seriously, and they will push for a new president in the future.

It's pretty tough to spell, so that's probably why you didn't get any results.  It is a person and he was the politcal and spiritual leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution.  Check the link below for a lot of additional information.\n\nThe full name is: Ayatollah Seyyed Ruhollah Khomeini or just Ayatollah Khomeini

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - President of the Islamic Republic of Iran\n\nHe was elected like Hitler.\nThe man made his name as a kidnapper and torturer.\nHe threatens to wipe out whole nations based on racist ideology.\nHis ideology was founded by the Mufti of Jersualem in 1930s, who was a wanted man by the Allies in WW2. The Mufti was a close ally of Hitler and lived in Germany for a number of years before trying to raise revolts against the Allies in Arabia, in support of the Nazis.\nHe develops weapons in secret to avoid treaty obligations not to do so, as did Hitler.
