30. Historically inaccurate
If the comparison is of Ahmadinejad to Hitler perhaps some evidence to back that up should accompany such hyperbole.

Moral authority? No of course not. Anyone who uses religiosity as a backdrop creeps me out personally but one would do well to step back and consider the context both present and historical. Any nation that considers itself God's chosen people deserves criticism and I can think of a few who have already put those thoughts into action by intervening in other's affairs in very violent ways for decades.

An initial process of at least understanding the overthrow of Mossadegh in 1953 is essential here. History does matter.
