Ahmadinejad and Hitler--both tyrants

Obama denies the entire premise of McCain's challenge. In his eyes Ahmadinejad may be deplorable, but he's no Hitler. Obama has pointed out that the president is not the real power in Iran, and that in fact Ahmadinejad may no longer even be in office after elections scheduled for next summer. He knows that as a young Democrat he cannot afford to look weak on national security: a week after he first declared, during a debate, that he would negotiate with any world leader without preconditions, he emphasized that he would order strikes against known terrorist targets inside the borders of ally Pakistan (as the United States does now, with mixed results). McCain—and before him, Hillary Clinton—has mocked Obama's stance on Iran as naive. But the critique didn't work for Hillary, and Obama is betting it won't in the general election, either: rather than trying to look tougher than McCain, Obama is going to argue that the familiar tropes—every dictator is Hitler, every negotiation is Munich—do not apply to the challenges facing the next president.

I think that Ahmadinejad is just like Hitler. He is a religious fanatic believing the 12th Iman is down some well waiting to come out and reign the world. Hitler killed 6 million Jews. Ahmadienjad wants to eliminate Israel. I don't see the difference between the two leaders. They are both tyrants and want(ed) to kill the Jews. Hitler created a false cabinet on paper for Chamberland. It never met as a cabinet at all. With Ahmadinejad, how can we trust an agreement with his government? Something on paper that will not be binding? If he has nukes, he will use them to destroy our ally Israel. No doubt about it.
