In an message of peace, to all the right thinking people of the world, the President of Iran called for the eradication of Israel. This is not some tin pot crackpot, this is the leader of a {sovereign} nation calling for a Pyrrhic annihilation of another country, for no other reason than they do not believe as he does. He goes further to call for a war against any country that recognizes Israel, which means I guess they are going to target their Muslim brothers in Countries Like Turkey, Indonesia and Egypt.
While reading this zealots statements, I was struck with something that has been brought up in the past about Christianity. Many apologists for these 'bacteria' (Nods to Ted for the term) compare their Jihad with the mid-evil crusades of the Christians (Catholics back then since the reformation had not occurred). And some even point to Northern Ireland as another example of religion gone insane.
Both are terrible examples of zealotry in the pursuit of purity (another might also add the Spanish Inquisition). But the primary difference between those catastrophes and the new Muslim hatred, is that none of them intentionally targeted their brothers in belief. But as we see in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Iran, these zealots don't care if you share their beliefs, if you are tainted, they you are a target.
Right now, most Muslim nations are marginalized to their own cesspools, so the only real target of their hatred is their fellow believers. And guess what? They are killing them by the scores!
The western world has a cliché. Almost a truism one would say. "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face." It basically means don't lash out in anger randomly when you are in the path of your kill zone. Except for a few crazies, most people on earth realize this to be a very wise cliché.
Not so the zealots of Islam. And as sad as it is that so many people die, they are only sabotaging their own racist agenda. They are killing their future converts.
I don't see a need to bomb Iran back into the stone age for 2 reasons. The first is that they are progressing back to it all on their own, with no help for anyone else. The other is that with a few well placed lies, and framing of evidence, we can get them to kill themselves. Just indicate that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad donated and supported a few Jewish Institutions, and let his 'followers' rip his heart out.
We will supply the pigs blood to ensure he knows where he is going when he dies.
