'Insane' isn't the word you're looking for; 'fanatic' is more to the mark. A difference in degree, perhaps, but while both are mental illneses, insanity has one acting randomly, while fanaticism compels one to act with relentless dedication to a single goal.

Idealogues tend to do things that are against their own objectives while pursuing those same objectives. What we have in the President of Iran is a former terrorist leader that has clawed his way to control of an entire country, and now stands to be in control of a nuclear weapon at some point.

The object of his hatred - ISRAEL AND JEWS - will ALWAYS be his first priority, and he is blind to the fact that he has set himself back on his quest to be able to destroy them by saying in public exactly what he intends to do.

But maniacs like him have always been most obliging in laying out what they're all about. Hitler wrote 'Mein Kampf', and in it was very clear what he intended to do. Lenin was not shy about revealing his plan for re-shaping Russia and its conquests.

And now, we have THIS obsessed and hateful little pretender to greatness saying he'll burn down Israel and kill all the Jews.

Okay, Mr. President. Call us back and tell us how that worked out for you.
