Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Ahmadinejad- The Legacy Continues-
From Wikipedia-
"In 1979, Ahmadinejad was the head representative of IUST to the unofficial student gatherings that occasionally met with the Ayatollah Khomeini. These sessions created the foundations of the first Office for Strengthening Unity (daftar-e tahkim-e vahdat), the student organization to which several members behind the seizure of the United States embassy belonged (this would become the Iran hostage crisis). Ahmadinejad became a member of the Office of Strengthening Unity. Before the seizure of the embassy, he had suggested a simultaneous or similar attempt against the Soviet Union embassy, but was voted down, resulting in independent pursuit of the idea by its proponents. [citation needed]
He joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps in 1986 during the Iran-Iraq War. After training at the headquarters, he saw action in extraterritorial covert operations against Kirkuk, Iraq. Later he also became the head engineer of the sixth army of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and the head of the Corps' staff in the western provinces of Iran. After the war, he served as vice governor and governor of Maku and Khoy, an Advisor to the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, and the governor of the then newly established Ardabil province from 1993 to October 1997."
Given the fact that Iranians heavily support (or founded) Hezbollah, don't look for "peace in the Middle East" anytime soon.
