We should take Ahmadinejad at his word.

Reasons to agree:

1. No one took Hitler seriously, but he tried to do all the crazy stuff he said he would, about trying to kill all the Jews, and take over the world.
2. Thursday, August 3, 2006 Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the solution to the Middle East crisis is to destroy Israel (The Associated Press, By SEAN YOONG).
3. "It is no longer acceptable that a small minority would dominate the politics, economy and culture of major parts of the world by its complicated networks, and establish a new form of slavery, and harm the reputation of other nations, even European nations and the U.S., to attain its racist ambitions, (Speech at UN by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, 24/09/2009)
4. Ahmadinejad denied the murder of 6 million Jews. This is serious stuff.
5. Ahmadinejad's speeches are a cry for truth from a Holocaust denier, a cry for democracy from a leader who shoots freedom seeking protestors, and a cry for peace from the word's biggest sponsor of terror, who aspires to annihilate a UN member nation.
6. Ahmadinejad says the Jews are a small and greedy minority that controls the world through slavery. That's classic anti-Semitism which exposed the true face of that regime, to anyone who still in doubt.
7. Ahmadinejad tortures his own people and represses citizen protest he has the courage to say Israel was committing genocide

Reasons to agree:

1. Ahmadinejad doesn't really doubt the Holocaust, he just has to say stupid stuff like that in order for his stupid population to re-elect him.
2. Ahmadinejad doesn't really care about the Palestinians. He just uses them to distract his people from their own crappy lives under his rulership. The Palestinians are refugies from the 6-day war that the Muslim nations started. If Iran cared so much about them, they could let them live in Iran. When you start a war, and loose it, you loose territory. Israil ganed land from the Palestinians when the Muslims lost the 6 day war, and the Palistinians have been bitching about it ever sense. That is what happens when you loose a war that you start: you loose property, you loose your homes, you loose your homeland. It is your own dumb fault for starting the war. The Palestinians should blame the Aarabs for starting the war, and loosing it so profoundly. They shouldn't blame the victim of the war (Israil) for winning it, and then taking some extra land after the end of the war. Ahmadinejad knows all this, but the Aarabs don't want to be told that the Palestinian's problems are their fault, and so he tells them what they want to hear, and what gives him more power. But we should never assume he is so stupid to believe his own words.

Interest of those who agree:

1. Preventing the people with the most hate and anger in the world (Arabs) from attacking their "enemies" the Jews.
2. The desire to avoid the mistakes of the past.
3. Economic prosperity as a result of peace
4. Ahmadinejad wants to be taken at his word, so what are his interest?

Interest of those who disagree:

1. Feeling like they are smarter than those who use words to communicate.

Do you know a lot about the Arab Israil conflict? I just made all this stuff from what I hear on the news, but I would love your help.
