I guess it's a demon. Geeez, I mean,let's just be for real. Ahmadinejad is just a madman with a messianic complex. It's that simple.
We can sit and conjecture all we want. The truth is rather simple.

Ahmadinejad doesn't think he is the saviour.
He does seem to think he could be the one that sets up the circumstanes for it though.
I'm not sure that quite qualifies as a messanic complex.

Welcome to MahdiWatch.org!
al-Mahdi is "the rightly-guided one" who, according to Islamic Hadiths (traditions), will come before the end of time to make the entire world Muslim. Over the last 1400 years numerous claimants to the mantle of the Mahdi have arisen in both Shi`i and Sunni circles. Modern belief in the coming of the Mahdi has manifested most famously in the 1979 al-`Utaybi uprising of Sa`udi Arabia, and most recently in the ongoing Mahdist movements (some violent) in Iraq, as well as in the frequently-expressed public prayers of Iranian President Ahmadinezhad bidding the Mahdi to return and, in the larger Sunni Islamic world, by claims that Usamah bin Ladin might be the Mahdi. This site will track such Mahdi-related movements, aspirations, propaganda and beliefs in both Sunni and Shi`i milieus, as well as other Muslim eschatological yearnings

Messiah v. Messiah?
al-Arabiya yesterday was quoting Iranian news outlet Tabnak to the effect that Iran's President Ahmadinejad "said he has documented evidence that the United States is doing what it can to prevent the coming of the Mahdi...." Speaking in Isfahan to families of men killed in the 1980s war with Iraq, Ahmadinejad also claimed that "they [Americans] have devised all these plans to prevent the coming of the Hidden Imam because they know that the Iranian nation is the one that will prepare the grounds for his coming and will be the supporters of his rule." Ahmadinejad also "revealed plots by both the East and the West to wipe out the Islamic Republic" and opined on the U.S. "quagmire" in Afghanistan (www.alarabiya.net...).

Most Christians think the 'rapture' is going to happen before all hell breaks loose on Earth.
We used a technology in the Persian Gulf War, where we broadcast this huge image of a bearded man, 'Allah', telling the Iraqi troops to lay down their arms, in Arabic, because it was 'His' will. We also fried their electrical systems in their tanks. The Stealth planes were ten year old tech when they were made public. Wonder what they have now...

Look at the strong emotional environment as positive, to learn from it. It is but a teacher.
We cannot learn of the good without the bad, love it unconditionally.

Notice that he doesn't think that "the West" is trying to wipe out IRAN, but the "Islamic Republic."
Grander designs. He doesn't see himself as someone who is tapped to run IRAN, but someone who is a potential for running THE Islamic States.

Really? I think that's an illusion.
