                             RADICAL ZEALOT

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE. Mr. Speaker, the Iranian president is up to his old tricks 
again, recently claiming that God has put him on a divine mission to 
have nuclear weapons. This bizarre banter comes from the same sinister 
man who called for the destruction and devastation of Israel. This is 
more than disturbing. Iran's commander in chief is obviously a saber-
rattling zealot who puts world security in turmoil.
  Mr. Speaker, the President of Iran is defiant and determined to lead 
his country in a dangerous direction. He supports organizations that 
kill Americans, like the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and 
encourages the use of violence against Israel. Hopefully, the people of 
Iran see the destructive behavior of their president and want to bring 
about a free and stable Iran that wants to be a part of the community 
of nations.
  A nuclear-armed Iran is a dangerous and deadly threat to the Middle 
East and all of the Free World. We must keep America as well as the 
rest of the world safe from this radical reactionary outlaw with his 
ridiculous ambitions. This is a matter of world security.
  That's just the way it is.
