With all his verbiage, the loudmouth ex-mayor of Teheran is not threatening Israel. He is predicting that Israel will destroy itself by its own sick policies. That is what he means when he condemns Zionism.
Israel and Ahmadinejad are competing to see who has the bigger muscles. But neither dares to start a fight. If Israel does that, she becomes the offender and can no longer use her favorite word: `defense`.
Olmert has hinted again and again that the USA should make war on Iran. Tiny Israel wants big brother USA to do its fighting for her?
It is good politics to proclaim what the `enemy` is plotting. You want to know what the enemy is plotting, listen to the enemy. You want to know what is profitable politics? Listen to your own government as it talks about enemy plots. The neo-con warmongers in the USA have refined this political tactic to its ultimate purity.
Believe it? Well, it is not crap if it keeps your party in power. Which is what really counts these days. |
