When Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks of destroying the Jews, he isn’t using hyperbole. No. He is telling the world exactly what his plan is. We’re just too “civilized” to believe that he could be telling the truth: The man who denies the last Holocaust is somehow dead set on creating the next one. Doesn’t that mess with his head? Most of us do not feel the compelling need to exterminate an entire people group.
Forsaking all courtesy that I would normally extend to a foreign head of state, I have to call him what he is: A demonized raving madman, no less than Hitler. I contrast that with the handful of truly wonderful and gifted Iranians I’ve had the pleasure of working with. And, oh my gosh, what a beautiful country! I am eager to see the Iranian people free, and some day when our countries are no longer at odds with each other, I would love to visit their land.
