"Destroy the Zionists"

Ahmadinejad's call to destroy Israel draws French condemnation

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday the solution to the Middle East crisis was to destroy Israel, Iranian state media reported.

Can we take this SOB out now?

France's foreign minister condemned Ahmadinehjad's comments Thursday, saying Iran is ruining its chances to play a positive and stabilizing role in the Middle East.

France condemns a lunatic. It's about time! Perhaps if France had done more to stop the spread of terrorism, instead of appeasing, someone would have taken them seriously. I sure don't. I kind of get the feeling that Ahmadinehjad doesn't give a flying flip what France, or anyone else says.

The crisis had presented an opportunity for Iran to "show that it can play a positive and stabilizing role in the region," Douste-Blazy said, adding that Ahmadinejad's statement "confirmed that this is not the case."

Ya think? The man has been calling for the destruction of TWO sovereigns nations, Israel AND the United States. Wouldn't it be prudent to "deal" with him? And I don't mean diplomacy!
