re: For once, a just analogy: Merkel likens Ahmadinejad to Hitler

Fine, he's got the same insane mindset, although Hitler was a bit smarter about hiding his motivation from the World until he was ready to strike.

Here's the difference and why we don't have to preempt this guy like someone should've done with Hitler. One message is all it takes. If Iran launches a nuclear device against another country without being attacked by a nuclear bomb first or if a device that they create is used preemptively against another country, Tehran is wiped off the face of the Earth by the nuclear forces of the first country with the will to strike back. Israel would be the clear choice if they still have strike capabilities but the US, GB, France, etc. would be obvious backups.

THAT ULTIMATUM WAS NOT AN OPTION WITH HITLER. He was on a par militarily with most of his possible opponents. Any attack back at him had a chance of failure and loss of resources. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that Iran could be completely wiped out by just a tiny fraction of allied nuclear arms. Their attack would be their death. No world domination is possible by a nuclear Iran. Your only argument can be then that the Iranian leader is simply suicidal and that he'd unleash hell before his demise. There is no evidence at this time to back up that thought.
