May 6th, six major world powers including the US will again offer Iran incentives, -- a repackaged version of the same ones offered in 2006 to which they never responded -- as encouragement for Tehran to suspend its uranium enrichment program. Iran has already indicated it will reject the latest attempt at appeasement. According to a Breitbart report, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said Sunday Iran will continue its nuclear program despite Western efforts adding, "No threat can hinder the Iranian nation from its path." But even should Iran ultimately agree, we would be foolish to believe a nuclear bullet has been dodged. It is imperative that in analyzing Iran’s true intentions, we give less weight to our own logic of reason -- i.e., believing a reasonable man will choose peaceful co-existence over the alternative -- and more to the absence of such logic in Tehran. It is imperative we understand the psyche of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- a man who may, before his term in office expires, have his hands on a nuclear weapon. For those who have closely followed Ahmadinejad’s rants and raves since he became president in 2005, he is a troubling psychological case study (see "Iranian President Seeks Return of the Messiah Through War"). To understand his psyche, we are left to study his words, his actions and the beliefs to which he personally adheres.
- As do many Shi’ite Muslims, Ahmadinejad adheres to the core belief a mystical “Hidden” 12th Imam, who disappeared more than a millenium ago, is destined to return to restore Islam to greatness. As do many Shi’ites, Ahmadinejad believes this 12th Imam, Muhammad al-Mahdi, will only return in the wake of world chaos. But unlike most Shi’ites who believe such chaos must evolve naturally, Ahmadinejad is a member of a small sect believing man can be a catalyst in causing the necessary chaos. Ahmadinejad’s quest to acquire nuclear weapons must, therefore, be weighed against his belief he can expedite the chaos to trigger al-Mahdi’s return.
- Ahmadinejad believes his destiny is, literally, to pave the way for the 12th Imam’s return. As mayor of Tehran before becoming president, he ordered streets widened to be able to accommodate the celebratory parade marking al-Mahdi’s future return.
- Ahmadinejad’s belief in his special role in the 12th Imam’s return prompted him to share a “vision” he had during his 2006 appearance before the UN. Allegedly, he saw himself engulfed in a “halo” as he spoke. Additionally, in concluding his remarks to this world body, he prayed and forewarned of al-Mahdi’s imminent return.
- As Ahmadinejad spoke at the UN, construction in Iran (he had funded) was underway to expand a small mosque outside the holy city of Qom where, in his apocalyptic vision, al-Mahdi is to make his re-appearance, marking the end of the world. In a nearby well, believers deposit messages for al-Mahdi. Here, Ahmadinejad has left his master plan for Planet Earth’s future.
- One can only assume Ahmadinejad’s master plan paints a dark future for Israel. In an October 20, 2006 speech to mark the Iranian holiday of Quds, he urged Muslims around the world to prepare for a “great war” to destroy Israel -- a warning made only a year after his declaration “Israel should be wiped off the map.”
- “Israel must be uprooted and erased from history” inscribed on a Shahab 3 ballistic missile in a military parade in Teheran (September 22, 2003).
- Posters and banners inscribed with the words “Death to Israel” and people shouting for the destruction of Israel and its removal from "the pages of history" were prominent in a popular parade held in Teheran on Jerusalem Day at which senior government members were present. Former Iranian president Kahatami patting a child holding a flag reading “Death to Israel” (Fars News Agency, Nov. 21, 2003).
Fear not... the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia... and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia (Dan. 10:12-20).

McCain aide: US war on Iran 'distinct'

Staunch McCain supporter Senator Joe Lieberman says the prospect of US military actions against Iran is 'distinct.' During a Monday appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe, Senator Lieberman claimed Iran's Quds force is responsible for killing hundreds of American soldiers in Iraq. "I hope we don't have to get to the point of moving in any way into Iran to strike at the base of the people who are responsible for killing Americans," the Democrat-turned-Independent continued. The White House has ratcheted up the pressure on Tehran over allegations that the Islamic Republic supports the insurgency in Iraq by aiding and training the militias. Tehran rejects the accusations, citing US occupation as the main factor behind insecurity in the oil-rich war-ravaged country. "But I hope that the Quds force and the Iranian government has in mind that that is a distinct possibility because let's be direct about this - and that's why I asked General Petraeus the question - the Iranians have been equipping to go back and are responsible for the killing of hundreds of American soldier," continued Senator Lieberman.
The Iraqi government, however, has disputed the US allegations against Iran, saying there is no evidence that suggest Tehran is stoking the sectarian violence there with money, weapons and paramilitary training. "There is no conclusive evidence," said Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh on May 4 in response to reports that some rockets seized in raids against Iraqi fighters were supplied by Iran.

Here is the problem. Syria, Persia (Iran) and the Islamist terrorist groups like Hizbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza are never going to have peace with Israel no matter how many times administrations believe their Islamic extremists lies. Those extremist lies are for gaining time and money from naive negotiators. Syria and Persia do not want the Jews to own Israel. Syria is friends with Iran for strategic purposes. Iran has elected another mad-man as their leader who is looking to bring-on Armageddon in order to introduce there version of the anti-Christ called al-Mahdi. The perfect weapon of choice for the job is a nuclear bomb. The Persian mad-man is working on that goal and no one is stopping him, at the present time.
...Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them. After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel....(Ezek: 38:3-8)
