Hi.
I never understood why the western media compare Mr. Ahmadinedjad with Mr. Adolf Hitler. But in these days of black and white thinking the so called intellectuals cant use any other comparison of enemy leaders than the good old devil Hitler.
Saddam was a second Hitler, Bin Laden was called a second Hitler and now Mr. Ahmadinedjad. A little bit boring but also dangerous, because a minor character like Mr. Ahmadinedjad is made to something important by comparing him with a major historical person like Mr. Hitler.
Mr. Ahmadinedjad is not the ruler of Iran. Not the iranian president rules the country but the so called Council of the Guardians.
When Mr. Ahmadinedjad made a law, which allowed women and men to visit together soccer games, this law was not accepted by the Council and so failed.
So much about his power. He is surely not a mighty dictator like Mr. A. Hitler or Mr. S. Hussein or others who had absolute power.
Also iranians are not against jews. Or at least the vast majority are not against jews. Obviously every nation has a small percentage of idiotic jew-haters - even Israel, where some weeks ago israeli Nazis (strange) were arrested by israelian police.
Iran is 2500 years old and in all this time a part of the iranians were jews and were and are considered as iranians.
The iranian constitution defines the follwing groups as true believers: muslims, christians, jews and zoroastrians. All these 4 groups have a guaranteed seat in the iranian parliament. And in Teheran a new synagoge (I hope the word is correct) was built and the jewish hospital in Teheran receives money from the state.
Not a typical behavior of a Hitler-ruled-contry.
No iranian politician - including Mr. Ahmadinedjad - has ever said that Iran would or should destroy or kill jews. Also not that Iran would destroy Israel.
If you find a statement where he said that Iran should attack or destroy Israel please send me a link. But not one of the wrong translations like MEMRI or other propaganda sites. I would prefer the original farsi text so I can check if he was really so stupid to say something like this.
Actually Mr. Ahmadinedjad is losing in the iranian inner politic. He lost last years important elections and his re-election is very doubtful.
So he is trying to make a great PR-show. And the whole thing yesterday will help him in his own propaganda.
I checked iranian news who perverted the whole events of yesterday.
So it was IMHO a big mistake to invite him to the university. It was obvious that despite everything what happened yesterday (even the funny homosexual statement) or vould happen yesterday the team around Mr. Ahmadinedjad would create a propaganda report to manipulate the people home in Iran. Especially those who would elect him. Not the middle-class of the iranians who could use the Internet to find out what really happened but the poorer people who will believe what the national news agency tell them.
Mr. Ahamadinedjad should be isolated. No interviews - like done on US-TV. No international visits. OK - I understand that the UN is a special case - but by making such a PR-hype you help his propaganda machine.
It would have been much better if he had been completely ignored by the news agencies and not interviewed and shown like a TV-star.
