Radical is being used as an adjective and a noun here w/o being adequately defined by the potentially inflammatory opening comments.
My interpretation of your statements is that you are making Rummy the U.S./Western antithesis of ahMADinejad - which I vehemently disagree with and find insulting to our culture and system of governing. There has been no departure from traditional policy making, implementation, administration, and innovation (whether right or wrong is not being debated) with political and religious overtones during either term. Plus you have the position of US SecDef vs. Iranian Pres.
Rummy was not trying to create a pseudo-religious empire or bring about the return of the Messiah.
All, by definition, may have radical ideas because they want to change the fundamental nature of something. Your statement was too ambiguous and simultaneously accusational.
Ahmadinejad is a religious and political fanatic.
