Curious here, rather than pointing an accusatory finger, but why don't you trust him? Or rather, do you trust him any less than any of the other players in this quagmire, and if so, why?
One thing that has often bugged me is the "assertion" in the Western Press that he wanted Israel "wiped off the map". This is something that has been bandied about with gusto, and I for one hardly questioned it as it seemed to fall into line with my attitudes about him in general (I understand why he would think that way, but I certainly don't condone any such attitude).
Then I came across
this in the Huffpo while trawling through some comments on a completely different topic. It made me realise that, as the man said, we have been lied-to about what Ahmadinejad's actual statement was to put the wind up us...
And there appears to be an
Israeli minister who thinks kidnapping him and bringing him to Israel so he can be indicted at the Hague for "threatening genocide" would be a good thing:
Quote:
"A man like Ahmadinejad who threatens genocide has to be brought for trial in The Hague," said Rafi Eitan, referring to the international war crimes tribunal in the Netherlands. "And all options are open in terms of how he should be brought."
Asked if kidnapping was acceptable, Eitan replied; "Yes. Any way to bring him for trial in The Hague is a possibility."
