Some have defended the Iranian President as he makes statements to Blow Israel off the Map. They say that the Iranian President did not make the statement into the World Media, but rather to a student group in a speech. This issue is a hot political topic and it is being debated in political forums and in the media in the United States. One debater in defense of the Iranian President stated;
“How about understanding that the statement the Iranian president made was not "TO" Israel but was sabre-rattling off-the-cuff talk to a group of students.”
If the President of Iran uses rhetoric to recruit people into the army so they will be used in the future to die, then he needs to be removed from power. Otherwise all those students will run into battle and die, just like the 250,000 soldiers in Gulf War I and the 100,000 in Gulf War II. Also it sends the wrong message to the next generation of leaders and means that war is likely for years to come. The debater had no answer and switched blaming President Bush for the Iranian President’s outbursts;
“This was AFTER threats were made to his country by the Bush administration. He has never repeated it officially, unlike Bush who publicly and on T.V to millions of people threatened Iran with Nuclear first strikes.”
Mr. President Bush did not threaten, he simply promised that the United States of America “WILL NOT” allow the current fanatical, radical regime in Iran to have nuclear weapons. I suppose this is wise considering they support International Terrorism, fund Hezbollah and Hamas, that the CIA knows the President of Iran was involved decades the prior in kidnapping American Hostages.
Not to mention the fact that the Iranians are sending in insurgents into Iraq to disrupt the new government and kill American Troops. Therefore President Bush is correct and that was no THREAT. That was merely drawing the line, well in advance so their would be no misunderstanding if that line is crossed. Our President does not make threats; he simply tells it like it is. And really that is the way it is; isn’t it? Consider this in 2006.
