Default Re: Why Muslim Fascism must lose.

[ QUOTE ]
What Ahmedinejad said referred to something like "wiping the Israeli regime from the pages of history." It referred specifically to the regime, not the country or people, and according to a scholar of Iran deliberately echoed the term used by Khomeine when talking about putting an end to Saddam's regime during the Iran-Iraq war. That is not a threat for nuclear annihilation. The people who claim Islamist or Pro-Palestinian regimes are planning to nuke Israel ignore the obvious point that if they ever did so, they would kill hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, destroy many of their own most sacred monuments and irradiate forever the land they refer to the Holy Land.

I don't think Israel can be consoled by what looks like a rationalization. Point taken about devatating the land and Palestinians. Hovever, Ahmedinejad is a fanatic and I think that such rhetoric can't be ignored by the western world.

I will say this that the United States has to be very careful in what it does here and how it leads the diplomatic effort to defuse the situation because this situation if it escalates further would probably be a disaster.
