Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is dangerous. He is eccentric, restless and reckless. United States foreign policy officials need to recognize the threat that Ahmadinejad is to ensure the order of peace in the world.

The United States has been in discussion with the Iranian president for a few years trying to stop the progress of Iran's nuclear program. Iran has not obliged and many believe that it continues to test uranium for a nuclear reactor.
