Not Wanting To Be Misunderstood....

"You should not complain that we did not give a warning. We are saying this explicitly now."

We hear you, President Ahmadinejad. Boiling wrath.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has predicted Israel will collapse and warned that its allies face the "boiling wrath" of the people if they continue to support the Jewish state....

"You (the Western powers) should know that any government that stands by the Zionist regime from now on will not see any result but the hatred of the people," he added. "The wrath of the region's people is boiling."

"Efforts to stabilise this fraudulent regime have completely failed, thank God ... This regime has lost the rationale of its existence," the president said....

... "If a hurricane starts be rest assured that the dimensions of this hurricane will not be limited to the geographic borders of Palestine," he added. "This regime (Israel) will take its supporters to the bottom of the swamp."

"The best solution is for you to take all the components of the regime and take it away"

A certain element in our society thinks that the United States should sit down across a negotiating table from this man, who welcomes nuclear apocalypse, and considers it his sacred duty to hasten the fiery end of the world. I would love to ask those people what their initial counter-proposal might be, given Ahmadinejad's opening negotiating position.

Perhaps the extermination of half of the Western world in a nuclear fireball? How long can Israel realistically be expected to sit and wait?

Oh, and please excuse the U.S. Congress for not noticing, Mr Ahmadinejad. They're busy investigating what the Speaker knew about an ex-Congressman's suggestive emails.

UPDATE 10/21: Catch Cox & Forkum's terrific cartoon, and read their whole post.
