Iranian Shoe Banging

Because it looks like Iran's president wants to get the party started:

He said: "Anybody who recognises Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation's fury, [while] any [Islamic leader] who recognises the Zionist regime means he is acknowledging the surrender and defeat of the Islamic world." He was addressing a conference titled The World Without Zionism. His speech was immediately condemned by the US, Britain, France, Germany and Israel. The Foreign Office could not recall a similar statement from a senior Iranian leader since the former president Hashemi Rafsanjani five years ago called for a Muslim state to annihilate Israel with a nuclear strike. Since then, there has been a mild thaw in relations between Muslim states, including Arab ones, and Israel.

Always with the Israel these Iranians. At least Ahmadinejad didn't mention the N-word. And what did people expect him to say while addressing the crowd at The World Without Zionism conference? That speech sort of writes itself. I'm willing to give him a break. I'm sure that if he were addressing, say, the U.N., for example, he would have gone with something less threatening like calling the US, Britain, France, Germany and Israel the Axis of Evil. Or maybe he could have waved around a bottle of Anthrax to convince his audience of the threat they posed to Muslimania. Dude's gotta learn some diplomacy if he wants to play chicken with the big guys.
