But Will He Pull the Trigger?

My last post dealt with reports that Iran is building a ballistic missile base in Venezuela. Some will argue that Ahmadinejad only wants to intimidate us - he would never be crazy enough to use them. Really?

Consider the Iraq-Iran War of the 1980s. Iran was getting beaten badly by Saddam. They needed to mount a major attack to even things up but they had to get across major minefields to do so. What to do? Answer: send thousands of Iranian children walking ahead of the troops into the minefields and clear a path with their exploding bodies. I kid you not. 450,000 children were sent to the front to be "martyrs for Allah." The regular troops were sickened by the carnage of seeing the falling body parts raining down from the sky, so the handlers began sending the children out wrapped tightly in blankets to prevent the unsightly "rain" when the little kids blew up. Oh yeah - Ahmadinejad was an enthusiastic trainer of these little martyrs.

Still want to bet that this guy isn't crazy enough to pull the trigger? Tell you what - you stand in front of the gun.
