In this age of remote control wars, where technology has taken place of valour, a blind targeted missile that lands with bull’s eye accuracy in the heart of enemy installation, buying enemy off the shelve is a trait that only likes of Saddam, Mullah Omar and militant Islamist has shown a great eye for. Making a call of annihilation he is asking for pulverization of his own nuclear assets a repeat of Osirak. I hope someone should have reminded Mr. President how Israelis had put the atomic genie of Baghdad back into Saddams bottle. Iraq had built the Osirak nuclear facility near Baghdad with French assistance, before the reactor went “hot” it was wiped out by the Israelis, so as not to endanger the surrounding community. “The alternative is our destruction.” were the words of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ChiefofStaff, Lt. Gen. Rafael (Raful) Eitan than. Today, President Ahmadinejad has raised the stakes in this verbal war with his recklessness; he has provided comparable reasoning today to a new set of aircrews from the cream of the Israel Air Force's (IAF) fighter corps. Why to compromise national interests of his own nation for sake of those who have never missed any opportunity to miss an opportunity.
This jingoistic jargon is akin to exposing the great Iranian nation to new-fangled dangers. Why add new enemies as though Iran does not have its own populace totally incarcerated and exasperated! It looks like he represents the rejectionist clergy extremists even on the right of Khamenei, even Hashim Rafsanjani do not want to have anything to do with him. He may be history with his statements; he definitely wants to become the new reincarnated ‘Ayatollah’ Khomeini and dislodge his mentor, Khamenei’s, power to remove him. An ordinary bloke who has captured the Presidency in the most unimaginative manner can only stick to it by creating parallel power.
