Dino, I am so disappointed in you. Trying hard to play fair ? Europeans like you learned nothing from history. When the Nazis were running wild in pre-war Germany playing democrat while setting fires to the Reichstag and blaming the Communists, the German Social Democrats issued a declaration equally condemning both Nazis and Communists for the trouble although it was obvious who was running the show. They sent their condemnation to the Communists but chose not to send the same to the Nazis and instead opted to post their paper internally unwilling to irritate the growing power of the Nazis. They thought such a move would spare them. History had recorded what happened next and that was disbanding of all parties, dictatorship and death of millions. This is a similar approach to what you have in comparing Israel and Iran, Netanyahu and Ahmadinejad.
How can you possibly put these two on the same plane ? You lost all credibility in my eyes.
