Enigma
The man is a mystery to me.
In the one hand He is positioning Iran as a regional superpower. Through a Machiavellian maneuver and tactic he was able to become the key player in the Middle East. Furthermore, by successful mix of controlled violence (The war in Lebanon, The attack of the Romanian oil rig) and diplomacy he is buying valuable time to secure nuclear ability. Moreover it seems that the results of his successful policy reduced the danger, to Iran, of western military intervention.
But then he is, again , sending such letter:
Is it not a reasonable possibility that certain victorious countries in the war aimed to make up an excuse on the basis of which they could keep the defeated people constantly ashamed,” and to block Germany’s “progress and strength?” Ahmadinejad wrote in a letter to Merkel cited today by the state-run Mehr news agency. The letter was delivered July 20 to Germany’s embassy in Tehran and hadn’t been made public previously.
The Holocaust has been detrimental, “in addition to Germans, to the people of the Middle East and to all of humanity,” wrote Ahmadinejad. “With the design of Holocaust survivors’ necessary settlement in Palestine, a constant threat has been created in the Middle East,” he said, referring to the Jews who settled in the region.
Some might claim that he is retarded, but I don’t think so. I think that this is a tactic that aim to achieve something, I just can’t figure out what.
