Iran: Nazi Germany of the 21st Century?

According to Ed Morrisy of Captain's Quarters, this could indeed be true.

It's been said time and again that those who learn not from history are doomed to repeat it. The horrors of what happened under the Nazi party in Germany in the 1930's and 1940's could indeed be shaping up again in Iran, as the case has been made (Mike Wallace's interview with Ahmadinejad not withstanding - of which I am currently subjecting myself to) that President Ahmadinejad is akin to a "21st Century Hitler".

Someone who:

- Denies the Holocaust ever happened, saying that the Europeans invented a myth

- Doesn't "give a damn" about UN Sanctions against his country for continuing to proliferate nuclear technology for a purpose other than power and electricity

- Equates an Islamofacist Martyr to be the same as an American solider defending the liberty of his country, not only that he says that this is a "beautiful" thing.

- Desires to wipe Israel "off the map" and "imagines a world without America"

Having just finished the first part of the interview I realize that Ahmadinejad is very good at sidestepping questions, not answering them, amd making himself look good. He never answered the question about the Holocaust and he never answered the question about "wiping Israel off the map", rather he made the whole segment a referendum on American policy and American and British control of the United Nations Security Council. Furthermore, instead of pressing harder on these things Mike Wallace backed down and let the Iranian Leader control the interview.

It must be understood that behind those black eyes, the Iranian President is saying, "Mike Wallace, you stupid old American, I want to use this to blind and decieve the people of your country, and if I could kill them all I would."

In this the second part of the interview, Ahmadinejad has called Israel a "muderous regime" - and called Mike Wallace a "representitive of the Zionist Regime" and says that President Bush wants to solve everything with "the bomb" - specifically Nuclear.

In this third section of the interview Ahmadinejad states that in the Israel/Hezbollah conflict Lebanon is just defending itself and fighting for its independence. In addition he says that Iran has not attacked another country in 200+ years, but then what about Israel right now being attacked by Iran's proxy Hezbollah? What about the attack in 1983 against the Marines in Beruit Lebanon? What about possible connections between Iran and the 9/11 attacks?

Best Quote from Mike Wallace to Ahmadinejad - "Are you ever wrong?"

This much is clear - Ahmadinejad dispises the United States, he is proud and arrogant, and sought to use this interview as a chance to decieve the American people.

The big question - Did he suceed? Not against me.
