BBC perplexed over world's reaction to genocidal Iran
By Tammy Bruce on Death of Right and Wrong
Unfortunately, there remain ample examples of the strain of people that produces a Neville Chamberlain. Take, for instance, how confused the BBC seems to be about world reaction to the world's proponent of nuclear holocaust--the Iranian terrorist president.
Look for yourself--here's their report about the comments during the "World without Zionism" conference for wild-eyes Islamist fascists.

And now, the latest layer of ice to be added to the relationship; hostile remarks about Israel from the Iranian president, prompting widespread dismay.
It is, in fact, not uncommon for senior Iranian officials to take a rhetorical swipe at Israel.
[Read: they don't really mean it. They say this all the time. What's the problem?--ed.]
And President Ahmadinejad was addressing a domestic audience of conservative Iranian students at a conference in Tehran ahead of the pro-Palestinian rally that always takes place on the last Friday of Ramadan.
[Just like how the Taliban were 'students' and those who took over our embassy in Tehran were 'students.' Yeah, that's the ticket--ed.]
But it did not take long for a chorus of European governments, plus Canada, the US and Australia - and of course Israel itself - to denounce the comments as deeply troubling and completely unacceptable, and summon Iranian ambassadors to give them a dressing down.
Britain called the address sickening. Israeli politicians have even called for Iran to be expelled from the United Nations.
So why this response? ...
[Anyone for a heaping portion of derision and ridicule?--ed.]
But there is also a third reason for such a co-ordinated expression of Western outrage: The controversy - still unresolved - over Iran's nuclear programme.
Iran has always protested its innocence and insisted - unlike nations like Pakistan and India who built and tested nuclear weapons illicitly - that it has taken its international obligations over nuclear power seriously.
[Oh, I see, that means the Iranians are telling the truth. Thanks BBC!--ed.]
So belligerent comments by Iran's President that seem to threaten Israel are a perfect opportunity to reinforce the argument that Iran's word on its nuclear intentions perhaps should not be taken at face value.
[Whoa! That seem to threaten Israel?! Calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map" is a diplomatic vaguery for the BBC--lovely--ed.]
Both Russia and China - heavily reliant on Iranian energy - would probably block any Security Council vote against Iran.
In which case, what diplomatic tools are left for the Americans and Europeans? Rhetorical pressure, of course, whenever Iran says or does anything that looks unreasonable.

Need we say more? And we wonder why we had the save the collective keester of Europe twice in the last century.
And I have a feeling Russia and China wouldn't exactly lose any sleep over the "wiping off the map" of Israel. Another good reason why both pits are in the UN and on the Security Council. The more corrupt and tyrannical nations the better to decide how this world should be run.
