That interview in the nationalreview says in the last paragraph:
"A few days ago President Ahmadinejad said "we must prepare ourselves to rule the world." And he cheerfully commented on Sharon’s stroke, "The Butcher of Sabra and Shatila has joined his ancestors and others will soon follow suit."

Compare to this:

Some time ago the German newspaper "Die Welt" wrote in an essay:

German:
"Aufschlußreich ist ein Zitat des als "gemäßigt" geltenden Ayatollah Rafsandschani vor vier Jahren, zitiert von Michael Rubin vom "American Enterprise Institute": "Wenn eines Tages auch die islamische Welt über solche Waffen verfügt wie Israel, dann wird die Strategie der Imperialisten zum Stillstand kommen, denn die Kraft selbst einer Atombombe auf Israel würde (dort) alles zerstören. Es ist nicht irrational, eine solche Möglichkeit in Betracht zu ziehen."

English:
Revealing is a quote of Ayatollah Rafsanjani four years ago, who is regarded as a "moderate" (quote is given by Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute): "If one day the Islamic world also possesses these weapons like Israel, then the strategy of the imperialists will come to a standstill, becasue even the power of only one such weapon would destroy all and everything there (in Israel). IT IS NOT IRRATIONAL TO TAKE SUCH A POSSEBILITY INTO ACCOUNT."


And I myself again point to the mission Islam itself is on: and that is securing undisputed ruling of the world and all man, and the overcoming of all infidels and everything that is not Islamic, because only if the total submitting to Islam is enforced, there will be peace. Why I see Islam that way I have explained indepth several weeks ago, I reject to dive deep into that again.

Bomb and Islam: a very explosive mixture. I wonder how things, with regard to global stability and security, would change if in Pakistan Perez Musharaf would get assassinated (what I expect to hear at every day) and the religious opposition would take over. Makes me nervous.
