Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

Iran clarifies its intention
Ahmadinejad: Zionist Regime Will Be Uprooted -Dudi Cohen
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that, "The era of aggression of the Zionist regime and its supporters has come to an end," emphasizing that "just as (Israel) was created, it can be dismantled."
He denied Israel's legitimacy, saying that "for 60 years, they have told lies and tried to defraud nations in order to create the germ called the Zionist regime." The Iranian president called for a referendum in "Palestine" and said that if Israel "doesn't accept this humane solution, the might of nations will bury them underground and bring about justice." He also affirmed his intent to continue the nuclear program.

Perhaps the upcoming Iranian elections will show us what the people and even the Islamic conservatives see as Iran's place in the world.
Most of the Iranian polity stands firmly in favor of their current nuclear policy. If Mr. Ahmadinejad is voted out, there will be no cause for celebration. When the mullah's are booted out of Iran, then i'll celebrate.
