When Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks, the West goes crazy. Tension is mounting between Iran and the United States and its allies about the nuclear matter.

President Ahmadinejad understands that his words are carefully analyzed by his enemies. Clearly there is a sense of fear over the idea of a nuclear Iran. Iran’s neighbors know it, Israel fears it. Nobody who loves peace would like to see in his lifetime. Maybe Iran is very close to developing a nuclear weapon. Maybe not.

For sure President Ahmadinejad likes to get the world’s attention. As the Kabyle of Algeria say, “A good orator makes us see with our ears.”
