The khaki 'members only' jackets, the weird hair, the creepy smile ... he needs to take a page from karzai's fashion book and step up the "look" a bit more. And for the record, he's not particularly popular within his own people, and contrary to what conservative pundits are saying, he's not a dictator. He was duly elected. The worst thing we can do is sabre-rattle - it will only work to increase his popularity among iranians, who see him standing up to the "great satan". Let's not make this jerk some kind of hero. But let him talk all he wants. Talking never hurt anyone.

Or maybe like Mr. X said, anyone who exhibits these traits as well are probably shot on site.
