TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran will stop any attacker before he can "pull the trigger" and sanctions intended to isolate the Islamic Republic have not worked, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a military parade on Sunday

I wonder if this is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad versus of the Bush Doctrine?

1. It is posturing like this that makes an Obama win so important.

If we put another minion of the US war machine in office we will see WWIII within the next four years.

2. He said "before he can pull the trigger"

Bush says "before he buys the gun".

There is a GREAT difference.
