Sounds similar to Khrushtchev's "We will bury you"...

You have missed the point entirely.

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?

It is similar in that a quote was -perhaps wilfully - misunderstood to imply threat of direct aggression where there wasn't any. I miss the point of how I have missed the point.

Then I ask permission to be humbled by your excellent response.
