Contrary to popular belief, Ahmadinejad is not the ruler of Iran, they have a postion called the Supreme Ruler. The guy who has that postion right now, Ali Khameni, is much more sane. I don't have a cite for this but everything I've heard (right and left sources) say that the current administatraion in Iran is very unpopular with the people and the people of Iran just hate the American government, not the people.

I would certainly agree with these statements.

Plus, Iran can not get nuclear weapons for at least 13 years.

Not sure I would buy this one. There are many subject matter experts out there who would disagree.
