Nah, Iran never threatened Israel....... Not at all. They don't want them dead, they only want hem "wiped off the map".

alot of comments like that get wishwashed together.. i was responding specifically to nuclear threats.. iran has made none , and what you quoted does not contain any nuclear threat.. infact what you quoted is exactly the misinterpretation that is the problem.. he didnt say israel he said the occupying regime. much like the usa says all the time about korea and iran... how do you see any difference in the usa saying it needs to wipe out "occupying regimes"
but im not going to fall into the same trap you are . the president doesnt speak for all iranians any more than gwb speaks for all americans when he tells the evil doers to "bring it on" and lies repeatedly about iraq..
Im not so foolish as to believe the president of iran has all good intentions.. but his actual wording is no different than what other presidents who dont speak for the people they represent say all the time.. but im also not so naive as to think if i was fed bush's worst lines he wouldn't sound like a crazy racist lunatic himself
