I suppose Fred Kaplan and Charley Reese would have just sat at home and crossed their fingers when the Japanese bombed Peal Harbor and Hitler was getting ready to take over the world. Hitler only killed a few million Jews before we finally were rid of him; oops, wait a minute according to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that didn't happen.
As the respectable, smart, and sane leader of a country like Iran (at least Mike Wallace says he's smart and handsome) I'd often find myself saying I should wipe another country off the face of the map. That way I can be more respected amongst my terrorist friends and their families and the next I'm over for dinner we'll have something to talk about.
He is also urging the Iranians to get ready to take over the world. Hmm, see any similarities with our friend Hitler? Wow, now there's someone who should have a nuke
If Charley had his way Iran could have nukes and Bush is labeled an idiot.
Bush may not be the most articulate, well spoken President we've had; nor would he go down in history for the way he presents himself. However, he's not wiping anyone off the map either and it's just a matter of time before the likes of Iran, Al-qaida, Hezbollah, Hamas etc try to do just that because their religious convictions insist on it.
