I just don't understand why Ahmadinejad uses these provocative words which he must know enflames the situation and adds ammunition to those who would use any excuse for war. Oh.. I don't know about that... Put yourself in Ahmadinejad's place. His economic policies are ruinous, Iran is importing 40% of its refined petroluem products from abroad, for which is has to pay high prices, and then subsidize it so Iranians can afford it, and most importantly, his base of support are the Shi'a radicals who believe the Mahdi's advent is around the corner. What better way to deflect criticism than to rally the people around the traditional Muslim scapegoat.. the existence of Israel? And by continuing the militant rhetoric, he's forcing the Ayatollahs to continue to back him, and denying them the opportunity to ignore the traditional hatred of Israel that has been their rallying cry for over a quarter century.
