Having worked in the PR biz, I've had to shovel ten pounds of shit into a five pound bag on more than one occasion. But, get a load of this spin job.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he wanted to "wipe Israel off the map". Instead of apologizing, he reiterated his statement saying, "My words are the Iranian nation's words. Westerners are free to comment, but their reaction is invalid." Totally embarrassed by his buffoon of a nutjob president, Ahmad Nateq Nouri, a senior cleric translates what Ahmadinejad really said.
"What the president meant was that we favor a fair and long-lasting peace in Palestine," Nouri told the Iranian Student News Agency.
Let me get this straight: "wipe Israel off the face of the map" = "a fair and long-lasting peace". Nice try Mac, but I'm not sure I'm buying it. Talk about trying to spin silk out of sour milk!
Sadly, this hate rhetoric is too typical of those who say they support the Palestinian cause. If the Palestinians would stop blowing up Jews they might actually have a state before the year 3025. Try channeling Martin Luther King Jr., instead of worshipping mindless martyrs. But, this whole wipe out Israel nonsense, is a dangerous delusion and severely undermines peace in the Middle East. It also makes the case for the U.S. or Israel to preemtively bomb Iran's incipient WMD program. World leaders who talk so irresponsibly simply can't be allowed to posses nuclear weapons.

As a sidenote, if the Religious Right of this country has their way, the United States will be nothing short of a westernized Iran. No separation of church and state, illegalization of abortion, no right to privacy, gays executed for private behavior. One must wonder where the Right gets its playbook from...

Adam:
What you said is absolutely insane. First, the U.S loans Israel money which is paid back. Duh.
Second, the U.S. has not given Israel nuclear weapons. They are smart enough to make their own, although they have not officially decalred a nuclear arsenal.
Third, if you think the Muslim world is so great, go live there. It is a world full of dictatorships and extremism. Israel is the only true liberal democtracy in the area. Amazing that you would support dictatorships over a true democracy. Where are the Muslim democracies? The only one in the area is Turkey, and they are secular.
Fourth, it is absolutely crazy and offensive that you don't think Israel should defend themselves against terror. I dare say that you would not brazenly suggest that for any other nation on earth.
Fifth, I agree with the one point that Israel should leave all settlements that don't have to do with security. This is where they deserve some of the blame. Getting out of Gaza was a good start.
Sixth, why did the Palestinians stick by Arafat, a corrupt mobster for decades? He was a cancer, yet they stood by his side. Please explain such dysfunction.
Seventh, I have a problem giving a state to a group that routinely beats and jails their own citizens who are gay. Gay Palestinians fare better in Israel, for your information.
Finally, the Palestinians should get a state. But they must renounce terror, which they are unwilling to do. If they believed in non-violence they would have had a state decades ago. Maybe they don't really want a state, but they really want to "wipe Israel off the map", as the Iranian president stated.
