Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Bush's latest version of "Hitler"Frontline's program broadcast on 10/23/07, Showdown With Iran, is available to view at their Web site. There is quite a bit of supplementary material available there, as well.
Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, who served during the first Cheney-Bush term, says in his interview whose text is on the Web site:
Having served in Iran, I am fearful of their hegemonistic appetite. Even during the time of the shah, I find that I've never seen a more ethnocentric country in my life. I have never seen a country for whom the days of Persepolis was, unlike for you and I, 2,500 years ago; they see it as yesterday. So this leads me to some fear about their view of themselves on the world stage.Tags: iran war, richard armitage
That's one thing, and it's quite a bit different from an impending invasion, and it would be the worst of all worlds, unless it was absolutely necessary for the safety and welfare of this nation, for an outgoing administration to start a conflict.
