Or will we watch it be repeated?
People thought Hitler was crazy when he spouted off comments full of hatred and world domination. They really didn't take him too seriously until WWII had already begun.
How is this different than Ahmedinejad? The Iranian regime, while denying the Holocaust, is using rhetoric very similar to Hitler's. With the inroads Iran has made in Latin America coupled with unholy alliances with North Korea and Russia regarding nuclear capability and testing.... how long will it be before nuclear warheads are flying over the Middle East?
And what about the perpetual Sunni/Shia violence? These sects have been at it for more than 1400 years. Nothing the US does will change that. In fact, the Saudis are worried about Shia expansionism to such a degree that the Saudi family issued a statement yesterday saying that the Sunni view will always be the majority in Islam.
Robert Spencer of JihadWatch has a nice collection of "1938 Alerts" which are rife with Iranian saber-rattling. My question is how long will the Iranian snakes rattle before they strike?
