Story: "A U.S. senator compared Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Hitler and made fun of his name on Tuesday during a congressional hearing on the U.S. strategy to end Iran's suspected nuclear weapons program.
"Ahmadinejad -- I call him Ahmad-in-a-head -- I think he's a Hitler type of person," Ohio Republican Sen. George Voinovich said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing.
"He has made it clear that he wants to destroy Israel. He has made it clear he doesn't believe in the Holocaust. He's a, he's a -- we all know what he is," the senator added.
Ahmadinejad, who took office in August 2005, has issued threats to Israel, compared its offensive in Lebanon this summer to the behavior of Nazi Germany and called the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews died, a myth.
The United States accuses Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, of supporting terrorism and of aiding the insurgency in Iraq. Iran says its nuclear program is to generate nuclear power.
"I don't believe that as long as he's there that we're ever going to solve Iraq," Voinovich said. "There seems to be a very deliberate, premeditated effort on their part to expand their influence in that area and this nuclear issue is just part of it.""
At last, a senator I agree with. Of course, he's a republican and he sees this war for what it is: A war on Israel and the West, and Iran is now in the forefront of this conflict.

Thanks for bringing this up. Yeah I agree with him
I think it's funny when anti-Iraq-war people say, "We shouldn't have gone into Iraq; Iran is a bigger threat." Yet they don't realize that Iran is a huge reason why Iraq has become such a problem! They're intertwined, in the same way all terrorists are intertwined. (As in, I'm tired of hearing "Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11.")

I love your Blog. I saw it in World!!! Im from Ohio and love Voinovich
Alas, a Senator who is willing to call something for what it is instead of trying to spin or hide under political correctness.
