Iranian president is quickly becoming the most frequently commented upon topic of this blog. After giving some thought on what response would be appropriate, I've decided to stick with mature, and well-thought out approach. With that, I must confess that reading about Mr. Ahmadinejad's views leaves me with the heavy feeling of regret and a flicker of hope. I regret that the Israelis didn't bomb the entire Iran into the Stone Age (oh, wait, hm… ok, bad choice, they never really progressed much beyond that), into oblivion; and I hope that this grave error will be remedied in my lifetime.
Some would say that this kind of sentiments only ignite more hatred, mistrust, and violence. And they would be right. At the same time, how would you expect the Israelis to react to such statements? They've done their best in attempting to negotiate. They've shown great restraint in dealing Palestinian terrorists, Iran and the likes. But these folks just simply don't get it.
Negotiation and peaceful resolution is always the preferred way of addressing conflicts among civilized people. But one doesn't negotiate with rabid dogs or Islamic fundamentalists.

Time for some moral conviction and time to squash the threat if Islamic terrorism NOW before it grows any larger. Time to let go of the new age politics and rely on the old reliable WWII mentality! The mentality that wins wars! Ted.
