Possible presidential hopeful Fred Thompson blogs today over at Redstate, and he speaks on issues much in the same spirit as I. Here’s a taste:
I have no idea if Ahmadinejad and those who put him in power really believe the Shi’a Twelver doctrine that they can spur the messiah to return by triggering Armageddon. You have to admit, though, that the possibility that they look forward to entering paradise as martyrs would make them a whole lot scarier as a nuclear power than the USSR ever was.

Word from the Russians might have let slip some cats out of the bag, or perhaps its a diversion, or perhaps it’s just an exercise to pressure Iran to start behaving, but I personally would prefer to believe it’s the clock winding down for Ahmadinejad and his Ayatollah.
From our comrades at the Russian News & Information Agency Novosti:
MOSCOW, March 27 (RIA Novosti) - Russian military intelligence services are reporting a flurry of activity by U.S. Armed Forces near Iran’s borders, a high-ranking security source said Tuesday.
In light of the latest letter from Iran’s President Ahmadinejad to all Americans, the Global Jihad’s long-term strategy is quite clear to me by this point:
1 ) Create an atmosphere of fear.
2 ) Squash free speech through that fear.
3 ) Alienate Western democratic governments from their own people through the paranoia surrounding terrorist events and the culture of fear.
4 ) Alienate the Jews from the world until such time that Israel can be destroyed, especially through “world” bodies like the United Nations and by fomenting anti-Semetism in the West.
