It seems to me, that the main difference between the two is the  
situation in which they find themselves.

Bush can't (much as he'd love to) come out and say what he really  
thinks ^[1] and he can't do all of the things he wants to do ^[2].

I'm sure he'd just love to square up to Ahmadinejad. I suspect they  
are both obsessed with "judgement day". They just choose different  
weapons. The threat that Ahmadinejad perceives is real. He recognizes  
the paucity of options at his disposal. The UN isn't going lift a  
finger to resist the current US crusading. The threat that the US  
perceives is also real, but they are having sucess in pressurizing  
some other countries into signing up for the tour.

Both are raving, retarded, fundamentalist, religious, anti- 
democratic, maniac zealots.
Buch is stuck in a system that is more restrictive, since, for the  
time being, the country is still just about sufficiently democratic,  
that he can't really manage the coup, that he so dearly wants.
Ahmy has a lot more freedom in this respect.

If you stuck Ahmy in the US, he'd behave like Bush. If you stuck Bush  
in Iran, he'd behave like Ahmy.

^[1]: not yet anyway, give the discovery institute another decade and  
let "jesus christ's barmy army", or whatever those deluded dangerous  
fucks call themselves run riot with kids for another few years and  
things will look very different.

^[2]: though he and his buddies are pushing the envelope with  
prisons, surveillance and international law.
