Nobody, except for some other radical Islamists, want to cozy up with with someone who essentially idolizes Hitler and the Nazis.

[I]i think your blind if you don't realize that we have "cozied up" with people who essentially idolizes Hitler and the Nazis. read some history. none other but our (America's) President's relatives are connected to funding Hitler's atrocities. Not only was Bush's grandfather the one who funded Hitler, but given the things that are happening today, Bush is more like Hitler than Ahmadinejad will ever be[/I]

Fortunately Ahmadinejad already has a lot of opposition within his own country. The more he alienates the rest of the world the more tenuous his position is going to become. I know a lot of Iranians(typically ethnically Assyrian and usually Christian) and they are very intelligent people. The people or Iran are not uneducated poppy farmers like the Afghanis. Muslim or not, I really can't believe they will accept being put into a position where the whole world is against them. At least I hope they won't.
Yes, Ahmadinejad does have opposition from his own country, but he does allow them to protest and has actually was pleased that college students were expressing their minds in that way.
