If you think that maybe Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich have the makings for being a President of the United States maybe this article will start to change your mind.
Read the following article from the Jerusalem Post about the debate over the translation of what the President of Iran said about Israel and it's destruction...note that our finest (that's a joke now folks) institutions of higher learning had a real fine input into the debate.
Please note also what these two fine congressmen proposed and how well their proposal was accepted in the House.
Analysis: Iran's talk of destroying Israel must not get lost in translation

I am reminded of a Thomas Friedman article on Middle East muslims. After years of direct experience with the Middle East, Mr. Friedman wrote that one of the fundamental misunderstandings between the Middle East and the West is that in the West political leaders grandstand in public and cut deals in private. Middle Eastern leaders placate in private and make commitments in public. In other words, only the public statements count.
The President of Iran has repeatedly and forcefully declared Iran's intention to drive ALL of the Jews out of Palestine at whatever cost. He has promised to do it militarily if the Jews do not move voluntarily out of the country. Somehow I remember another world leader who promised for a decade to remove all the Jews from a certain country and gave the world a chance to receive the Jews. The Western leaders spent a great deal of time assuring the world that he didn't mean what he said that he meant. They met with him in private and were convinced he was a nice guy.
9,000,000 lives later, maybe he meant what he said. Ahmed, Kill-All-the-Jews-Death-to-Israel-and-America might be telling the truth...
