Though, my Hitler/Stalin reference wasn't meant to imply that he was anywhere on their level. They're just the most obvious examples. The one story I remember from the book I mentioned was that, supposedly, he was visiting a village one day where the people were running out of food. He made inquiries and found out that the bread-bakers were hoarding the wheat to drive up prices. He went into the first bakery he came to and had the baker thrown into his oven and burned alive. The next day, there was affordable bread available all over the village. I believe the book mentioned that this particular story may not have been 100% accurate, but apparently that's the sort of methodology he was known for. [/qb][/QUOTE]He sounds positively Socialist! :D Damn greedy capitalist breadmakers! Not to mention "legendary." Like Katherine the Great and the horse. Anyway, who's giving Iran the "you made your bed" treatment? Nobody here. Last I heard, the US strongly supported democraticreform in Iran. Not surprising, given the amount of time that has gone by. Times change. Administrations moreso. [/QB][/QUOTE]
