Furthermore, Israel is also called in the Islamic Republic literature as a "cancer". I do not think these words are very much democratic. By the way, I do not support Israel. Neither I think it should be "cleared from the map". What you are saying is absolutely correct. But, I think it is a bit too simplistic to use the language of conventions in this matter. I think you agree with me that this problem is more complex than how Ahmadinejad formulates it. After all, I do not think the "clear" (or "wipe off") speech is towards any solution. Qasem,

But, I do not think being a politician is a good job for them. Even they can not make good lawyers or teachers or perhaps even cashiers. So, I have done some pretty dubm things so you have a good estimate of my IQ. Right? Amir,

I think you and I agree that these people are also brain-washed and some of them are paid to think so. However, my impression is that he did not try to correct his mistake. What he did was covering up, and not answering to the question. He is a shame for all of us and I think we both agree about this. Sirus,

You can see the donkey here: http://kamangir.wordpress.com/2006/09/11/holy-donkey-sends-a-newspaper-to-exile/ I am not in Iran. So, you can not conclude that Iranians can argue about the government's decisions as simply as I do here. I would have not dared to do so if I were inside Iran. I think he does not like real interviews by Iranian journalists because then he has to answer hundreds of very serious questions. I agree with you. The journalists can obviously find serious questions to ask him. In his last interview he was asked about Iran's financial situation and he tried to find an answer for it. Still, I think a more rigorous interview with be quite fascinating. If you have followed the news you probably know that he was asked for an uncensored interview by an Iranian journalist after he asked Bush for one. Obviously, he declined. Bucket,

What I am trying to say is that he is not able to express himself in such a way that ordinary people can understand. Have you ever been in a situation where you try to teach somthing to someone and he doesn't get it, whereas it is obvious to you? I know you from SUT.

Whats wrong with it? The means are civilised and they are so democratic. Needless to say that the means are in harmony with the fourth geneva convention - the right of return- to which both the state of Israel and the united states are signatory. Also the right of the return has been highlighted couple of times by the International Court of Justic, the judicial organ of the UN.

So now he is trying to correct his mistake. becuz he did not expect that his normal speech in front of some semi-milishia and some ball-sucking university students (i mean basijis), could produce this mess. But really i get nervious while watching his interviews, stupid smiling to the interviewer, answering the question by asking another unrelated question from interviewer, trying to attack to interviewr and making him nervious and so on. He is an asshole in interviews.
