Two questions regarding Ahmadinejad and Iran

Poll question: Two questions regarding Ahmadinejad and Iran

First one: Do you think Ahmadinejad is a bigoted asshole and all around jerk?
Second: Do you support attacking Iran?

Since many on DU appear to not think that anyone who says how much of a piece of shit Ahmadinejad supports attacking Iran, I think we might need some numbers to set the record straight. But I hope most people on DU are rational enough, to see that there is nothing progressive about fundie Holocaust deniers, and that you can despise leaders witout supporting attacks on thier countries.

So of course, I vote Yes/No

1. hmmm... not quite.

How about we put criticism of Iran on hold while our leaders are threatening to start another goddamn war, on the off chance that such criticism will be aiding and abetting yet another war crime and crime against humanity committed by our government?

2. Voted Yes/No but with a caveat of

Not supporting attacking Iran "... at this juncture, wouldn't be prudent." But a careful eye should still be kept on them....

is participating in the campaign to demonize him?

7. So Iran is off invading other nations and imposing their

'mockarcy' on them?

6. Ahmadinejad is a George W. Bush league sonofabitch.

Yes: He's a bigoted SOB. No: Attacking Iran is insane.

Ahmadinejad is a tool of fundamentalist clerics who want to turn
the clock back to 1979. His hateful rhetoric is aimed at reviving
the old revolutionary fervor inside Iran.

Ahmadinejad is not Hitler. He doesn't even compare to Saddam.
He is a right wing demagogue who is a head of government.

Ahmadinejad's Iran is a long term threat that needs to be contained,
but thoughts of regime change imposed from the outside are misguided.
