WHOOOA! Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger.
Perhaps I didn't make it clear in the way I phrased my post, but it was more about Pat Buchanan than it was about Ahmadinejad or what should be our reaction to him. To be honest, I haven't completely sorted out all my conflicting opinions about him. I do still stand by last comment, though.
"It's a testimony to the state of political polarization in this country today that Pat Buchanan is coming across as a moderate Republican."
