PITBULL JOURNALIST GOES SOFT ON IRANIAN MADMAN: 88-year-old CBS journalist Mike Wallace says Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a 'reasonable' man on Sean Hannity's ABC radio program... Points out Ahmadinejad not anti-Jewish... just anti-Zionist state. Says many Jews in Iranian Parliament, in great positions in Iranian life... Believes Ahmadinejad sincere in his hope for peaceful coexistence between Iran and West... Troubled by comparisons of leader to Hitler... Marvels at Ahmadinejad's civil engineering degree, 'intellect', 'savvy'... Asks viewers not to bring 'prejudices' to Sunday night '60 MINUTES' broadcast... Proclaims 'discussion' was sincere and not for propaganda purposes... Developing...

I feel love in the air......

It's pretty amazing how history does repeat itself. It seems like everytime one of these tyrants pop up, some US reporter goes and interviews them and declares.

"Why he's really not so bad, kinda reasonable".

Then the guy goes on to kill about a zillion people. They just can't get their pacifism out of the way.

Whannity kept asking Wallace is this guy was evil over and over and over..

Wallace said that he, Iranian Pres., was more reasonable that maniacal. He was much more intelligent than Wallace thought. Wallace also stated that he had the same first impressions that Whannity did going into the interview but after meeting with him his mind had changed. Wallace NEVER said he was good guy rather he told whannity that his job was to interview him and allow others to decide after watching the interview..

who watched the interview?

from my perspective, Ahmadinejad did come across as an intelligent person, a person who is strong in his beliefs, in control and with a vision.

it is just that those beliefs are waaaay out there and his visions are dangerous to the region. he exhibits a bit of a paranoia about the "zionists" and their supporters, the usa.

he didn't directly answer the stronger questions wallace asked. but wallace did ask them, and wallace did not allow Ahmadinejad to use him to appear to be a rational leader.

This was my point. The dud may be a nut but he did seem to be an intelligent nut.

As long he is more intelligent than Bush, he must be a OK guy

I don't know him so I would not know. Do you know Bush? Or do you believe everything he says without question?

No I believe Ahmadinejad after all he did come across as an intelligent person, a person who is strong in his beliefs, in control and with a vision.

Why would I believe Bush he has been universally been dubbed an idiot.
