"Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid." -Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean
Read here about Iran's refusal to limit their nuclear program, and their claim that all they are trying to do is generate electricity. Then see the first sentence above; should we base our foreign policy with Iran, and perhaps our security against nuclear attack, on the belief that a dishonest man is finally being honest? Ahmadinejad is a liar, a murder, a terrorist, and a fool. He has participated in attacks against Americans, has good friends such as North Korea, denies the Holocaust happened, and has publicly stated his desire to "wipe Israel off the map." Other than that, I'm sure he's a great guy and good with children.
So the right thing to do here is fairly simple: don't trust a word he says. And be prepared to take strong action should he persist in his dream of nuclear power to use against Israel. Er... I mean to keep the lights on at the children's hospital.
