Iran

I just watched a mass rally in Iran presided over by President Ahmadinejad live on cnn. I had no idea he was such a fantastic orator, he captivated the hundreds of thousands of people in the crowd completely. Unfortunately nearly every sentence he uttered was punctuated by nationalistic overtones. I suppose that if I had to a pick a world leader to be worried about he would have to be very high on my list, However I wonder how much of my worry is legitimate and how much has been influenced by the highly political nature of the nuclear question. In any event, hyper-nationalism does not have a very good track record for leading to peaceful solutions. not good.
