Mahmoud Promises End of Israel

The Iranian nutjob president continues to endear himself to the civilized nations of the world:

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday told delegates at an international conference questioning the Holocaust that Israel's days were numbered.

Ahmadinejad, who has sparked international outcry by referring to the killing of six million Jews in World War Two as a "myth" and calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map", launched another verbal attack on the Jewish state.

"Thanks to people's wishes and God's will the trend for the existence of the Zionist regime is downwards and this is what God has promised and what all nations want," he said.

"Just as the Soviet Union was wiped out and today does not exist, so will the Zionist regime soon be wiped out," he added.

His words received warm applause from delegates at the Holocaust conference, who included ultra-Orthodox anti-Israel Jews and European and American writers who argue the Holocaust was either fabricated or exaggerated.

The Vatican, Germany and the European Commission added their voices on Tuesday to others -- such as the United States and Israel -- who have condemned the Tehran meeting.

The Soviet Union ended without a shot being fired or anybody being massacred. I don't think Mahmoud has similar plans for Israel. Other nations, who have already been condemning the conference, quickly condemned the latest in a long list of statements threatening the existence of Israel.

It's a shame Israel didn't decide to end the Iranian nuclear threat this week. They have a whole collection of their enemies in one place. One well placed laser-guided bomb could do the world a lot of good.
