Iran's Ahmadinejad has 'proof' US won't attack

"In some discussions I told them 'I am an engineer and I am examining the issue. They do not dare wage war against us and I base this on a double proof'," he said in the speech on Sunday, reported by the reformist Etemad Melli and Kargozaran newspapers.

"I tell them: 'I am an engineer and I am a master in calculation and tabulation.

"I draw up tables. For hours, I write out different hypotheses. I reject, I reason. I reason with planning and I make a conclusion. They cannot make problems for Iran.'"

Ahmadinejad has long expressed pride in his academic prowess. He holds a PhD on transport engineering and planning from Tehran's Science and Technology University and is the author several of scientific papers.

The deeply religious president said his second reason was: "I believe in what God says."

"God says that those who walk in the path of righteousness will be victorious. What reason can you have for believing God will not keep this promise."

Bush loves nothing more than a challenge. I still don't think he can bomb Iran, but it's this kind of thing that might trip it off.

As for ...
"God says that those who walk in the path of righteousness will be victorious. What reason can you have for believing God will not keep this promise."


Oh, 12 year old girls being stoned to death because they were raped?

Isn't there some way we can get all the fundamentalists together and give them their own country (with a blast-proof dome over it)?

The application of 'reason' has nothing whatsoever to do with how the Bush administration operates. They don't really 'do' reason or facts or any of that egghead stuff.

I do understand that there are some hallucinatory things written in the E&E forum, but I fail to see what this particular set of hallucinations has to do with the environment.

Of course, we do see rather bizarre impressions of mathematical rigor in the E&E forum, say when people can't count, as in counting exajoules, but still...

One also hears a certain amount of religious dogma recited in the E&E forum, like "nuclear waste is dangerous," although the number of people actually injured by the storage so called "nuclear waste," is zero. But still...

There are zero points in this matter that are connected to the environment.
