Oooooh, I bet they're scared NOW...
The Iranian President said what they all think (Europe, Russia, etc.) but aren't saying yet because the time isn't right.
Recent march in Tehran showed hundreds of thousands already afflicted.
Folks, according to AP, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (pictured right) stood fast behind his recent assertion that Israel should be wiped off the map and repeated the call during the nationwide protests Friday, the Muslim day of prayer. He joined more than a million demonstrators who flooded the streets of the capital and other major cities Friday to back his call for the destruction of the Jewish state.
Commentary. And they will listen, too, particularly those nasty boys from Hezbollah, who might leave their political power building in Lebanon to once again come to hound Israel and push the Jews to the sea.
I'll be facetious and caustic now, for I have a better idea and I'm also in that kind of mood. Why not wipe out Iran instead? Wouldn't it be better for the whole world destroy this "holy order" of mullahs and ayatollahs and neutralize the terror they spread, bury their rhetoric, and purge their ambitions for regional or world domination?
I think the world would be better off without Iran, than without Israel. At least Israel doesn't seem to be threatening to unleash any nuclear holocaust--pun definitely not intended--except against those who dare attack them in this manner. Israel has never warred against Iran since biblical times, but Iran has done more than its share against Israel via its terrorist proxies. What they intend to do with nuclear weapons once they manufacture them takes no wild guess.
So, what says you, Mr. Ahmadinejad? Would you like your country to become the object of a call for its anihilation? I bet you wouldn't. Then don't do it yourself! Shut your trap up. Get treatment for your unfortunate disease and while you're at it, lay off on the hate, OK? It moves peace-loving people everywhere to gag--except for fanatics such as yourself, who roll on the ground with glee and anticipation of forthcoming death and destruction.
