The Dominos Just Keep Falling

Yep, it's getting real peacy-like in them parts. In a show of level-headed statesmanship, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has chosen to speak figuratively about Israel. He could have said Israel "must be blown up." He takes the softer, diplomatic approach:

From the NYT:

TEHRAN, Oct. 26 - Iran's new president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, told a group of students at an anti-Israel event on Wednesday that Israel "must be wiped off the map" and that attacks by Palestinians would destroy it, the ISNA news agency reported.

He was speaking to about 4,000 students at a program called "The World Without Zionism," in preparation for an annual anti-Israel demonstration held on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran spoke Wednesday at a Tehran conference called "The World Without Zionism."
