The lies and distortions about Iran and its President started long ago.
if Ahmadinejad is "the New Hitler" why are 25,000 Iranian Jews allowed to live peace and relative prosperity ?
Constantly repeated reports that Ahmadinejad threatened to "wipe Israel off the map" are ANOTHER BIG LIE foisted on the public by the largely Zionist owned and controlled mainstream media. The Iranian President did say that he expected the Zionist regime to collapse sooner or later, but he never threatened to attack Israel except in retaliation for an Israeli or US/Israeli attack on Iran.
For some people the idea that Iran might actually hit back if they are bombed is enough to get them frothing at the mouth.
Unlike Israel Iran has not attacked its neighbors for centuries.
Now I am no fan of the Iran regime in any sense.
But the idea that they are a mortal threat to to the US (with thousands of nukes) or Israel (with hundreds of nukes) is so absurd and over the top that one trembles for the future of a nation where leading politicians can peddle these Goebbels/style lies with impunity.
