Well of course they're

Well of course they're bullies; they routinely threaten their neighbors, they butcher their own citizens for demanding democratic reforms, and they fought a decade-long war of aggression with Iraq. Go Google some of their better press releases if you don't believe me.

Now, based on the criteria above, could you make a case that the US has acted like a bully around the world too? Uh, yeah, a pretty good one in fact. But two wrongs don't make a right, and we weren't discussing our conduct, but Iran's.

So is Ahmadinejad an asshole and would the world be better off if he wasn't in office? Absolutely. That doesn't mean we should starve or bomb Iran into submission to remove him though! There is a better way, and it's with peace.
