Let me guess, he actually seems to be a reasonable person and his interview was in no way edited. Am I right?

Its funny that very very few bother to actually 'hear it straight from the horse's mouth' and rather just go along with what others tell them. I wish I had a penny for every time McCain misrepresented Ahmadinejad because I'd be a millionaire.
I'm sure he's done bad things domestically but that's not what is being discussed today but what I do know is that he's not the person some people are making him out to be in respect to his foreign policy. He doesn't want to annihilate Jews and there's no proof that he wants to nuke the state of Israel.

Warning: this is particularly shameful.
This is from that documentary, America: Freedom to Fascism right? I saw that a couple of months ago and I wonder if there's any legitimacy to their claim about the income tax.
What I took from that answer was that it was a politicians way of saying "let the Palestinians get their country back and then decide whether they want the Zionists to remain there".
edit: I should say, let the Palestinian people be allowed to be citizens of Israel; let them vote and considering they outnumber the Zionists, this whole issue will be done with...and it'll be the democratic way.

If the fate of the world is decided, then why doesn't the world have a vote in this? At first I thought it was logical, as everyone votes in their own democracy. But the US want to be the world's policeman. And as a lot of Americans think that America gave the world the gift of democracy, what better example than letting all democracies vote on this one?
In reality one can only hope there is enough pressure on Americans to vote Obama.

I think my tutor brought up some nice points today. He basically came to the conclusion that Obama's lead is hyped by the media, in reality it'll be a much tighter race. One of the reasons being of course is that the evangelicans and the south part of America count for a big vote and they'll vote Republican. At the moment with the economic recession the right choice seems to be Obama.
However there are also some tweaks in Obama's foreign policy; one being his advocation for a withdrawal of troops from Iraq - if US followed Obama and withdrew their troops in 2006 it would've meant a morally damaging and big split in the army. But the US didn't and apparently Iraq is not such a big failure after all now (I mean you can't deny it's in a better state now than it was before.)
Next Obama would actually want to talk/meet with Ahmedinijan (sp?) without pre-conditions. To put it bluntly .... you don't sit or talk with people who plans to exterminate a race. (Ahmedinijan (sp?) is anti-Jew.)
And according to my tutor again when he want for some US military convention a few weeks back, three things about Obama do not seem to go well with the military. Their main concerns were:
1. the fact that he doesn't wear that american flag.. badge? thing on his shirt
2. his religion is still up for speculation
3. How important/much respect he has for the military.
Well that's what he said anyway. On a note unrelated to the elections, he shared with us his experience in the military convention. The weapons that the US are actually coming up with now is insane. China may well be on its way but the US is still strong. The military is actually in favour of attacking China now before they become a real threat to the US... which is why Taiwan could be a main trigger for anything to happen.

Anyone on the east coast is powered by West Virginia. Oh and we're the only state in the union ever to be bombed by the US military. And like half the generals from the Revolutionary war came from Western Virginia. The economy of the American West was founded in West Virginia. As was the technology to drill oil. Remember the "milkshake"? We did that first. By several years. So all that refined crude that goes into your car only does so because it was invented just west of Charleston. Oh and unlike our cousins in Virginia we became a state because unlike George Bush and Texas we kind of like black people at the time.
If he should meet his maker because of strong rhetorics (alot of it misquoted or invented, like him being a douche isnt enough), then who should Bush meet for having countless 100's of thousands of civilians lifes on his hand?
Btw, His anti-american comments are very mellow compared to what Bush said over the years against everyone not with him. The kicker has been the anti-israel comments he has made, or perceive to have made.
