Also, why doesn't anyone points to the fact that the Iranian president would hardly be the one with the finger on the big red nuclear switch if Iran got the bomb ? The President currently hardly is the most powerful person in Iran... Un roi sans divertissement est un homme plein de misères
That is right. He is more or less a figure head and mouthpiece for the mullahs.
Apparently Ahmadinejad did not say Israel will be wiped off the map and Khrushchev did say "We will bury you . . ." Neither leader had enough internal support to do much damage. All part of the purpose of the U.N. so that countries could say what they want as long as they did not toss missiles.
Sounds similar to Khrushtchev's "We will bury you"...
The US installed a puppet government in Iran in 1953. It was this government that Khomeini was referring to...it was there, and it was gone. Iran didn't get wiped off the map. The regime was replaced.
And this is exactly what he predicts will happen with the regime in Jerusalem. Not that Israel will get wiped off the map, (there is no such slang term used in the language) but that there will be a regime change in Jerusalem.
I am getting the impression that the problems of the world are greatly exacerbated by people's expectations that they should be able to read every person's statements with the dictionary of a certain mental midget sitting in the White House.
Did anyone take "This is not a game" as a sig line yet? Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
