commentary by international pundit Libardo Buitrago on Iran's

controversial President of a Muslim, religious, Shiite nation....
He has a particular relationship with Hugo Chavez. They are
friends, and Chavez introduced him to other friends in Latin
America.... Iran wants to be a nuclear power. He has been accused
of supporting international terrorism and guerrilla groups.... The
goal of Iran's President is to eliminate Israel from the globe....
