Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Iran's New President
Taken from Time Magazine--
He is an unlikely firebrand: the soft-spoken son of a blacksmith who still sometimes drives a 30-year-old Peugeot. But Iran's new President doesn't shrink from controversy. After winning a disputed election, he said he would continue Iran's nuclear program, called the Holocaut a "myth", and pledged to destroy Israel. Even some of the nation's ruling clerics are nervous about what he will do next.

Well, he definately is a dangerous guy. Has some pretty umm unconventional? views. Like how he denied the holocaust. Luckily though, the real power in Iran is not actually in the hands of the president but a group of 12 religious leaders who can veto anything that the elected government passes into law or suggests. But I agree, he is definately dangerous to the world since he is spreading and gaining support for his beliefs increasingly in his own country.

Wow... crazy guy. His name sounds like it's from a TV show where they make fun of people who have names like that...
